Last night, my husband (whose name is Michael) and I dined at a new restaurant in Dorchester, Massachusetts named Via Cannuccia.

While we were enjoying that delicious and unusual appetizer with the deceptive name of Eggplant Parmigiana, one of the staff came over and said to us, “You know somebody named Christina, right? She called and said her friend Ann is here and she wants to pay for her meals.”

Try as I might, I couldn’t think of a friend named Christina and since nobody except our cats named Joan and Harley knew we were out last night, I told the staff person (whose name I didn’t catch) that there must be another person named Ann or Anne dining in the small restaurant.

As I said to Michael, Ann/Anne is a common name. So common that we are celebrating another Anne today.

I’m glad that Anne Hutchinson persevered after being banished from Massachusetts and is being celebrated today.

Our cat named Joan is helping this Ann get new followers on the new social media site named Threads.

That last picture isn’t Joan, it’s our shy cat Harley, whose name makes me wonder about his previous owners who gave him up for adoption. Maybe they were too busy riding their Harley motorcycles to be able to spend time with him. Maybe they were often stomping around in their motorcycle boots, which might explain why he runs away whenever we’re wearing shoes.

Michael’s brother-in-law — whose last name is “Bolger” — is related to this guy we saw on a mural in Dorchester last night.

Do you know the name of the city in these two photos I took last night?

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “names.”

Of course, the name “Ann” isn’t on that list of strong girl names, but I’m still strong!

Thanks to all those who have names, including YOU!
