h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Much too obvious, I'm afraid. Keep trying.

Emeline would be my next guess, as in Emeline Pankhurst the British suffregette. Do you have strong felings concerning womens rights?

Ohhh i love this guessing

I *do* have strong feelings regarding women's rights and I like the name Emeline, but it isn't mine.

Ooops, sorry about the delay.

I'll try Esmerelda next,the beautiful peasant girl who bewitches the poor hunchback.

* Stuffs a pillow up the back of his shirt, trys to look like Charles Laughton, and waits to be bewitched*


Did you hear that Quasimodo in an attempt to show his undying love for Esmerelda, told her to watch as he rang the bells of Notre Dame cathedral for her.She went up the tower to find Quasi perched precariously on a parapet facing the largest bell. He leapt across the dividing space, and hit the bell a resounding crack with his forehead causing the bell to peal beautifully, before he rebounded onto the parapet. Four times he repeated this move, each time the note from the bell became more haunting and more beautiful. On the fifth attempt disaster struck, he caught the bell a glancing blow, and he was thrown hundreds of feet off the tower to crash in a broken heap on the square below. Esmerelda ran panic stricken down the tower and fought her way through the crowd that had formed around the lifeless body of Quasimodo.

"Did you know him Esmerelda?" asked one of the crowd.

"Mmmmm" she said thoughtfully,"His face rings a bell"

Not Esmerelda. I'll give you a hint. It doesn't start with 'E'...

Do you mean my best joke was only worth a ? I'll have you know i've known people lose control of their 'functions' when i tell that joke

Not starting with an E eh? Is it really going to be as easy as Amy? If it is, you're my first friend of that name........i know no other

Not Amy - you'll have to keep guessing.

How about Amelia, (spelling probably wrong ).........as in the famous female pilot. I reckon thats got to be it,it sounds like Emee...........are you a high flyer my old pal?

How's everything else, planned how to spend the maternity leave yet?

Not Amelia either. Used to work for someone named Amelia - very nice person.

Keep guessing.

I'm going to spend the maternity leave trying to keep up with the baby and laundry and dishes. Should be interesting. Will also probably travel somewhere for Christmas and have to go to my brother's college graduation in December. Other than that, nothing too exciting.

Aimee ? That's a nice name..........tres Francaise, n'es pas?

Mandy? Of Barry Manilow fame

Hermionie?.......(Got to get a spellchecker)Like in Harry Potter

I haven't been sat here for a week pondering ,spent part of last week in Devon at a tournament, now i'm back at work .

Hope is all going well, and the bump isn't causing too many fashion problems yet .

I've just had a thought........is Emee relevent to your real name, or am i being led astray by a red herring?

It is relevant to my real name, but not in a literal sense - Amy ---> Emee, that sort of thing.

The bump is doing fine. I've started wearing some bigger clothes these days - jeans were getting a little snug.

Have an ultrasound next week. Hoping for cooperation so we can find out the gender.

Ohhh ultrasound pictures are just so cute I remember seeing the first pics, it really makes you realise that there's a baby there, and not just a bump.

We didn't find out what sex ours were..........it was quite exciting.

Funny thing, i never imagined you wearing jeans. I have this mental image of a businesswoman type......all padded shoulders and dark suits

Hmmm this name thing is becoming more illusive ........

Bethany? Beatrice? Belle?

They let us wear jeans since we don't usually have direct contact with customers or vendors. When any of them are in town though, we have to dress a little nicer.

Think initials...

Oh - and it's a girl!

Well done you clever old thing..........i never did get the hang of producing girls .

I'll bet it was a magic moment when you saw the scan

M E.......how thick of me not to get that before

Is it the truely British Queen and her sister? Margaret Elizabeth?

Elizabeth is right - you get a for that.

Ha................half right then

Continuing with the royal theme..........Mary? Do you use both names all the time? I think that's quite a cute Americanism.

Of course my favourite sort of Americans are a pregnant, Oklahoman office workers..............you don't see many of the about though unfortunately

I see quite a few of them. Think there's something in the water.

It is Mary. I usually go by Marybeth though - a nickname my mom gave me when I was little.

and for you

And one for you too ..........i hate drinking on my own

Awww that's a really cute nickname, it sounds so warm and comforting...........very "Waltons" in fact. I feel i know you better now...........could you lend me a few bucks?
