I've been tagged by Rachel. The tag instructions...
1) Grab the book closest to you
2) Open to page 123, go down to the fourth sentence
3) Post the text of the following 3 sentences
4) Name the author and book title
5) Tag three people to do the same
There are about 5 books on the shelf next to the computer and the first one is The Last Word on First Names: The Definitive A-Z Guide to the Best and Worst in Baby Names by America's Leading Experts. Phew. Long title. By Rosenkrantz and Redmond-Satran.
So here is what it says:
"MURPHY: One of the boldest, brightest, and breeziest of the Irish surname names, thanks to the character played so convincingly by Candice Bergen on Murphy Brown- and to then-Vice President Dan Quayle for keeping it in the headlines for so long.
MYRA and MYRNA: They come from different places, but their tarnished images have a lot in common. Myra was invented in the seventeenth century by a poet called Fulke Grenville as a short form of Miranda, and it quickly caught on with other poets and romantic novelists."
I tag Brooke,
Elaine,
and Carrie.
