[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Names

[golden faile]

  > But secondly I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on the 
subject, knew people who had given their kids odd names, have names 
you love/hate, suggestions for names and what sort of impression the 
name would give you. 


Well, I would probably be one of those parents that you say hates their children;). My name is Laila and I hated my name when I was younger(I got called everything from Lilypad to Laid-la). I realized (when I was about 12) that it is part of who I am, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Now my son is named Casey. That's pretty common, because I felt that he should have a BASIC name(plus it was pretty close to his dad's name without having to make him a Jr.). My daughter however, is named Reine(pronounced rain,which in french means Queen, but isn't the french pronunciation, just the spelling) and her middle name is Naomi(which means beautiful). Now, she hasn't had any problems as of yet, but I realized at some point that if kids want to tease you, they will find something. I think my daughter will appreciate her unique name in the future, and if she doesn't she can always use her middle name.

Laila
