From blackgryphon's journal:

If you comment...

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.

I'm adding a bit, though it's not obligatory, and starting off with my reciprocal stuff for Eric.

In answer to number 7: with great difficulty. It was always hard to agree on names with Ron (except Lachlan's, which we had picked out weeks before the birth). Jonathan was the name of a painter in the Sadler's Wells books by Lorna Hill, that I read as a child. I really liked the name Cameron, which is his second name. It belongs to an Australian actor, Cameron Daddo. Both our second names start with C too, and it was cool to be able to carry that on to our son. Michael is a name we just liked, and it wasn't until later I realised he was the third generation in my family with that name (I have an uncle and a cousin called Michael). Jared reminded me of Jareth from The Labyrinth, but that name was the only one we picked after the birth (Jared is Michael's second name). Lachlan is just something we both liked. I originally came across that name from the Australian actor Lachlan Daddo, brother of Cameron, and James, well, we just liked it for a second name.
