Examples

“I recognize that a name⟳ like⟳ Rachel goes against my whole "ordering a different dish from everyone else at the table" rule⟳, but sometimes you really want⟳ a steak, and that's exactly what you should get⟳. I love⟳ the name⟳ we gave our daughter. It's not dorky, not too whimsical, and not too stuck-up. To us it sounded sweet, sporty, smart, and beautiful. It also works well with Sachs.”
