When I Say The Name...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tirya:
A large, hard-hided animal with a large horn sticking out of its nose... and a kid who would be mercilessly teased through school for having such an unusual name.

But growing up with a last name that was rife for teasing, maybe I'm just overly sensitive to that. Our parents resisted the urge to name us anything "cutesy", knowing that we would get enough hassle growing up because of our last name...

BronwynWolf:
I see a boy who would be teased unmercifully.

If you want something diferent, look into mythology, or way back in the family trees. That's where DD's name came from....my grandfather's aunt, and my mother's grandmother. If we had another girl, she'd have been given the Welsh name for "Great Queen".

earthmuffin:
I wonder about the teasing... there are so many interesting names and interestingly spelled names out there these days... or maybe most of them are in California? I tried going with traditional names and traditional spellings and still everyone seems to spell my kids' names wrong. :gaah:

Fox:
Both my hubby and I have relatively normal names and we both get them spelled wrong often.  I can sort of understand mine, as there are a couple of variants, but my hubby?  I've never seen it intentionally spelled any way other than how he spells it.   :rolleye:

No matter what you name your children, unless it is Bob, it is probably going to get spelled wrong at some point.

Wolfsrain:
 :D

I see a girl with long dark hair and soft dark eyes and a positive attitude.

The reason for this? Erm...I'm a dork. I play Final Fantasy. Except her name is spelled, "Rinoa."



Truthfully though I think it's a beautiful name.
