Was that really in the OED?

You talkin' about me??

I did it again today, a few times over.

Kevin Surname Origin
(Origin Celtic) From Coemhghin, the beautiful offspring, aoibhinn, pleasant, comely. Caomhan, a noble, kind, and friendly man.

Kevin (the beautiful one)

"I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay,
And I pity
Any girl who isnÂt me today.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming--
ItÂs alarming how charming I feel,
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe IÂm real.

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing--
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For IÂm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!"

Past Progressive: "I was Kevining the D. cuthbertsonii"
Future Progressive: "I will be Kevining DadÂs neglected Birefenaria"
Present Perfect: "We will Kevin the Vanda collection at 2 today"
Future perfect: "I will have Kevined the Paph collection before lunch"

Richard "Shishi kokoro"
Etymology be damned

Correct, as usual King Richard

H (wondering if the present progressive tense of 'Kevin' should have a double 'n'...)

Out of complete modesty, I didn't say that my actual first name means "Gift from God"!
