Dea-Dra, Cortez, Cherise, Daja, Lyna, Malacai, Javarious, Rylie, and Tamika?!

The retina specialist's office called me at 3:30 to say that they'd scheduled a cataract surgery consultation appointment for me, on July 12 at 9:30 AM, which is a Thursday. Since I realized that would be the day before my planned dinner with Chrystal, I attempted to call her at work to reschedule, but I got voicemail. I just tried ten minutes later, and got her on the phone. Without any preamble, I told her why I was calling. We eventually rescheduled for July 6, which is good.


From Julie: Dea-Dra?! Is that a really dumbed-down version of Deirdre?!




From Julie: Cortez?! Like Cortez the Killer?!




From Julie: Cherise?! I've known people named Cheri, Cherine, and Cerise... but wow.




From Julie: Daja?!




From Julie: Lyna?!




From Julie: Malacai?! BAD SPELLING of Malachi!




From Julie: Javarious?!




From Julie: Rylie?!




From Julie: Tamika?!
