Hey, don’t knock it. If you like old-fashioned baby names, you can’t get much more vintage than those culled from a bunch of centuries-old headstones. Plus, the names are kind of spooky, too. Take a look at these 30 names we found at the graveyard. These are all traditional male names, but might they might just work for your little bundle of femaleness too.

Suuuure. Still, you spend enough time with a guy like that and you start to doubt your female instinct. Maybe she isn’t a vicious man-stealing woman, intent on sleeping with my hubby. Maybe she IS just a friend. Let’s not kid ourselves.

Listen to your inner voice. If you’re a woman who consistently chooses men who are all wrong for you, listen very carefully to your inner voice when you first meet a guy you like. You may first think something like, “He’s cute” or “I like his biceps,” but then be quiet and listen to what comes next. You may start to think something like, “He seems sad and like he needs someone who cares” or “He seems like a badass, but I can tell he’s really just hurting....

Yes, there are always exceptions, but women for the most part, seem way more into the wedding thing and even the idea of getting married, than men do. That’s not a slight, just an observation. When a woman tells her girlfriends she’s getting married, it’s usually followed by high-pitched squeals, lots of jumping up and down, and 20 or 30 minutes of hugging. When a guy tells his buds he’s getting married, more often than not, the first thing they ask him is, “Is she pregnant?...
Looking back on it, I wish I’d been aware of the trend that so many parents have caught on to: Set the birthday kid up with their very own smash cake, a separate, aptly proportioned confection presented without utensils for the honoree to enjoy in whatever manner they see fit. They can feel free to squeeze it, drool on it, crumble it, face plant in it. You name it. No one else is going to eat it but them!...
