Birchbox April 2013

[MaiteS]

im loving all the unique names in here!

my mother named me Maite - its a very common Brazilian name but most people think its an alcoholic beverage LOL. its pronounced maitay. 

and it usually has the little hat over the e :]

my sons name is Cedric since his fathers name is Deric we liked the Irish mix and the similarity of his dad's name ;]

My middle name is Vanessa too!   Mine is Alexandria Vanessa. I was named after my uncle that passed away months before I was born. I don't mind it, but I have more nicknames than I can remember. If I have a daughter, I would probably name her Laurel. For some reason I really like that name. I don't hear it that often and Idk, I just kinda like it.

My birchbox is coming, my birchbox is coming! I cant believe that! It rarely comes this early!! Im crossing my fingers for the blush, but I have 3 coming this month. Idk why I decided I need so many, but I do. My second account updated and its the only one so far. Fingers crossed for 3 different boxes.

The one I got has an ETA of the 10, (even with me being In CA) and it weighs .4400

I like your name as well, even the nickname of "Eva".. reminds me of Wall-E!  Timeless! 

YAY for twins!  If you are fraternal twin look out!  I'm a fraternal twin that had fraternal twins.  I didn't even think about it really but I guess it's genetic.. no skipping a generation with genetics (of course it could appear that way though.. )

Haha.. yeah, I've heard that about Wall-E before!

Actually yes, we are fraternal twins (I had to look it up to make sure it means dizygotic)

This is so exciting that you also had twins... now you are making me hope that I may end up having twins my self some day! Growing up with a twin sister made me so happy, I would love my kids to have a best friend since even before they are born, exactly like my sister and I had each other!

Awww, that's the name I want to give to my future daughter /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Whenever I see your name it reminds me of the Mexican actress Maite Perroni! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

yes! i think Maite Delgado is a Venezuelan actress too so there are so many out there in the Latin culture as well. i shouldnt of said Brazilian since its Portuguese decent really. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

the most common girl's names ever in my own opinion are jenn and kate. my undergrad days were full of classes with snooty girls with those names.

There is no way to guarantee different boxes, but making your profiles different helps. Also there are usually over 30 box variations so the chances are slim of getting doubles (although a few have been unlucky and gotten a few doubles!).

Woah I totally would have thought Nabakov's Lolita would have been way more problematic (and all of the movie versions).  (although i guess indirectly it did- both Lola the song and Lola bunny are references to it).

I think my generation (I'm 25) is just less familiar with Lolita. The Lola song/Lola the bunny are also a lot less controversial. My grandma was named Lola so it might have been a reference that she heard more of. Also, I got a shipping notice! Super early! I usually get my box after most people since I'm in Washington.

I was thinking the same thing!

Omg someone named a kid after Pantera. I'm Laura. My kid is George. I am definitely a fan of traditional names, especially because my husband's last name is unusual enough that we wanted a relatively simple first name. I love all the name stories!

When I have a daughter, she's probably going to hate me at some point because of the name I have picked for her.....Ceili Guinevere. (Pronounced Kay-lee). It's Irish (which I am) and it essentially means dancing (which I do), so it actually has meaning. My husband keeps pointing out that people are constantly going to be calling her "See-lee", but alas, my heart is set on it. Take it from me, having a top 10 american name (possibly even top 5 at some point), having a unique name is something I wish I had.

By the by, I saw comments about dating guys with weird names...try this one on for size: Kemper Aragorn (first & middle name). lol!
