My other part time job besides the bookstore is doing market research at a call centre. Last week, I had to call someone named Claudia Zizmore. I guess Mr. Zizmore can't mind too much that Claudia is so bad at math, if he married her! ;D I also bought a cross stitch pattern for a wedding sampler a while ago, and the two names that are in the example photo pictured on the front cover are Karen and Andrew. Karen already was joined in "holy moly" with her stepbrother in Kristy's Big Day, and now she's married to her real brother? Tee hee.

In my high school drama class there was a girl named Christina Thomas, which is the closest I've ever seen to a real-life BSC example. "Claudia Zizmore" cracked me up. I wonder if she knows how amusing her name is to BSC fans. ;D

I went to college with a girl named Claire Pike. I had forgotten about the BSC then so didn't make the connection when I knew her.

^ Wow! the Richard thing is really awful. I guess it isn't that rare of a name, though.

That Richard thing is kind of creepy. As far as knowing BSC names in real life I went to school with a claudia, and plenty of Jessica's. I think thats about it though.

I once had a class with a red-headed girl named Mallory, who wore glasses. When we met, I said, "Hey, like Mallory Pike from the Baby-Sitters Club!" She looked at me like I was crazy and didn't much like talking to me after that.
I also work with a Mary Ann. She's about sixty and absolutely nothing like BSC Mary Anne.

I've heard of a Kristy Thomas who was on a women's basketball team for some university. I read it in the newspaper once. But her's was spelled "Christy." Oh, Abby was the name of my best friend's sister. One of my teacher's name was Claudia. Another friend of mine's sister was named Jessi.

I know several people named Mary Anne and one named Claudia and a good friend's daughter is named Jessica. I also was good friends with a Kristen (not called Kristy, though) and knew a Stacey, my mom's college roommate was Dawn and I tutored someone named Abby. My aunt wanted to name my cousin Mallory (probably good she didn't ;D) so I just realized that I know someone with the name of every member but none of them were anything like the members. I also do know a Shannon and a Logan but the Logan is a girl ;D
