^ Do you find it strange to read your name in the books? My name is really far from anything in the BSC books and really, really rare so I have never even found it in a BSC book. I always think of people I know, though, when I read their names. Don't know how that would be if it was my name. ;D

My name is really common, so I hardly ever think about it anymore. When I was in school, and the teacher would read a book with my name in it, I would get made fun of (everyone did when their name appeared). I didn't like running into my name in books then! Incidentally, my name DOES appear in BSC books, but not one of the main characters.

I just thought that my name does appear too but only my last name. I got teased enough about my uncommon first name and had enough of the same, stupid joke about my last name that I'm glad my name didn't appear in books.

Now I'm curious about your name, aln!
I do have a common name (less common spelling) but I don't think I share it with any character in the BSC books, funnily enough. One of my sisters is Jessica, though.

Hehe my name (Amy) is the name of the girl who wants to look at Becca's bubble blowing thingy, but her mother calls her back inside because Becca is OMG BLACK (Jessi too) Also in Jessi's Wish an Aimee, Stephen and Chris were finger painting and I thought it was hilarious because I went from crushing on a Stephen to crushing on a Chris, when I was about 11 or 12.

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I have the same name that Mallory gives one of her little mouse drawings in New York, New York. I feel special whenever I read it. ;D

I have a common name but the only time I've ever come across it in a book is in Claudia and the New Girl with Ashley Wyeth.

This isn't a BSC thing, but since I know lots of BSC fans also read the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, I thought I'd mention that at the call centre the other day, I called a woman named Sylvia Patrick. That's awesome. ;D I am a huge Alice fan. Anyway, I share my first name with Grace Blume. Random Shy Girl

Didn't the BSC sit for a girl named Kathryn at least once? For some reason I'm thinking they did, and that would be awesome because that's my name.

My name is Andrea so when I read about the BSC baby-sitting for Jenny and baby Andrea I always feel so proud ;D. I also have the same middle name as Claudia.

I have a name that has been used in BSC books. Actually, both my first and middle names have been. My last name is very uncommon, though, so it doesn't appear in the BSC-verse -- although a last name quite similar to it does.
