If you're under about 40 and live in North America, you may have a grandfather, father, or uncle named "Dick". But you certainly aren't named that yourself. And you probably don't know anyone your age or younger who calls himself "Dick". In fact, its a slang term for a body part, and is insulting when applied to people.

Because there are senior citizens and near-senior citizens you can use the name "Dick" without giggling, it seems obvious that this change occurred no earlier than the middle of the 20th century.

Can anyone provide more information on this change of meaning?

Has any ever tried to learn two languages at the same time? If so how difficult was it to keep them apart. I am thinking that taking two germanic languages (one through classes and one self taught) might prove to be a bit difficult. Any SERIOUS thoughts?

It's Evelyn. I think it sounds old-fashioned. What do you think? I wouldn't go so far as to change it but I just hate it.

What would you change it to?
I hate my name. I would've loved to be named Arianna or Graciela.

Please don’t let this scare you, but I think I am falling in love with you. Every time I see you my heart beats so fast that I have to remind myself to breathe. Do you know how mesmerized I am when I watch you sleep? I stare at your face and try to memorize every detail. I love how you unconsciously cuddle up to me when you are sleeping. Do you realize that you hold me while you are sleeping, as if you never want to let me go? I love lying there in your arms watching you sleep and listening to your heartbeat. I play with your hair and breathe in your essence. I love how you always smell exactly the same. It reminds me of the way the forest smells after it has rained and the sun shines again. This morning when I awoke I was so angry at myself for falling asleep. I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to sleep the whole night with you. I hope I have that chance again soon. I want you to be the first person I see when I wake up. I want to be the one who sees your first smile of the morning. I don’t know why I have these feelings for you when we have only known each other a short time. I only know it feels wonderful. I know you probably do not share these feelings; you probably think I am a fool for confessing this. That’s ok. I just couldn’t stop myself from telling you how happy you make me.
