Wacky Neighbor Update

You know my neighbor, the crazy hoarder lady? With the boxes and the five bicycles for two kids? I found out her name, and it's marvellous.

I mean, literally. It's "Marvellous," spelled with two 'l's. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am to live next door to an adjective. This is beyond terrific, and hurtles toward awesome. My curiosity is running away with me. I bet whatever she does for a living, it's fantastic! And as a tenant association floor captain, I'm sure she's pretty darn superlative.

This is beyond excellent.

In the comments, tell me what sort of adjectives you would use to name your child.

I think a kid should be named "adequate" so they don't have so much crushing pressure. Perhaps Ms. Marvellous was unable to cope with such pressure at having that name, and as a result she decided to go nuts and become a hoarder.

Floor Captain?

So, what, if you're playing music too loud, she puts together a posse and leads the charge?

I'm going to have to go with "Thrilling" or "Huge". The middle name would, of course, have to be Richard...

Gilahi said...

What's her last name? If it's "Marvin", then you might want to keep your distance.

Shannon said...

Brando - Or, maybe everything she hoards is absolutely wonderful!

Snay - Apparently not, as I am a very loud neighbor. The Floor Captain thing has something to do with the tenant's association.

Foggy - The pressure!

Gilahi - You know, I have no idea what her last name is. I kinda got stuck on Marvellous.

If the current movie "Precious" is any clue, just go with Sue or Bill.

*goes off singing* S'wonderful... s'marvelous...

HP said...

I had a great aunt named Virtue.

Tina said...

I've always thought that people who name their daughter "Chastity" were asking for trouble but what do you do - name them "Easy" and hope for the reverse psychology effect?

Alex said...

I bet she shops at Marvelous Market.

Jamie said...

You have floor captains? How 1970's public high school. You should sign up to be a hall monitor. Nobody will like you, but you will be allowed to go to the bathroom without getting a pass.

Flammable.

Shannon said...

Lacochran - My name is Shannon. My friends call me, "Fantabulous."

HP - That's awesome, because that's just so broad. What virtue was she supposed to be? Thrift? Punctuality?

Tina - Even better, name them, "Effortless"!

Alex - Don't you mean "MARVELLOUS" Market?

Jamie - Only if I get to wear an orange sash.

Ibid - That's a lovely name for a boy.
