  4. As a teacher, one of my favorite days is getting my class list. They are just names for awhile but soon they will be names I know as well as mine own children's. Thank you for this reminder.

  5. The Js have it as far as the number of names. (My son shares one of these.) but there is real competition going when it comes to the number of characters. Lovely names. Poetry indeed.
