#it's helen alexandra incidentally

[isabelpsaroslunnen]

I am pretty resolutely opposed to having children, because a) I can barely be trusted with the care of a cat, much less a human, b) my doctors have advised against childbirth (I could adopt, but see A), c) I'm unlikely to get pregnant given that I'm a lesbian lol, d) I'm old enough that I'd be well into my fifties by the time a child born now was an adult and that doesn't appeal, e) I simply don't much like being around children (less bothered when they're related to me, in fairness, but still, meh).

But I also am resolutely determined about what I would name a daughter in the extremely unlikely event that I somehow had one.
