Great ficlet, and a very wise choice.

Two names I really like here:
Amelia \a-me-lia\ is pronounced a-MEEL-yah. It is of Latin and Old German origin, and its meaning is “industrious, striving; work

and

The girl’s name Sophia \s(o)-phia\ is pronounced so-FEE-ah. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is “wisdom”

I got this information from thinkbabynames.com

Now that was sweet, with great repartee between the mom and daughter. Pregnant women are allowed to be pills most of the time. It’s one of those laws, ya know.
LoA

I absolutely love the name Sophia, but I am wired to spell it Sofia. Glad she went against Pickle. ;)

sophia is my middle name, so great name. i actually think pickle would be a cute middle name

haha, verey cute =) love both names!

I enjoyed this one. In addition to two very interesting names, the dialog between mother and daughter seems very natural.

Great writing and names!

Thanks for all your comments, and I’m glad you liked it, Ridcully! Oh, and Jenunique, I’m wired to spell it Sofia, too, especially since I’m Latin. :-)

I’m told that when I was 3 and asked what to name the twin brothers who were on the way, I said “Taco Eater and Taco Beater.”

I LOL ’ed at your comment, R_M

hehe
