Name that baby!

	Name that baby!


	Nine months is just about enough to find a good name for your baby girl. Then our baby was born. Our son.

	Monday, September 26, 2005 About names Saw on Seth Godin's blog that "[a]ccording to the latest government data, [Justin and Ashley] are the two most common names given to children of Hispanic parents in NY last year. For Asian parents the story is different: name number one is Emily." Oh yes, a rose by any other name may smell just as sweet .. but if you call somebody and say you'll send them a bouquet of zmellykats, they may not even give them a chance. Anyway. We were talking about names yesterday again. How important is it really that the name is pronounced the same way in Finnish and Swedish, the two languages in our household? Like, say, Klara. Does it matter if people in Finland say it with a short "a", and the Swedes with a long one? Well, I do think it matters. I think Klara and Klaara are two different people. Or...? :: Risto, 10:44 Comments: Hmmm. It doesn't faze me, but Francisco hates it when people call me "Beht" instead of "Bert"... "That's not your name," he says. So, maybe, yeah, Klara and Klahra are two different people. # posted by Anonymous : 1:51 PM I disagree with you. Whatever name you choose there will always be some language where it is pronounced differently. What matters is that you, the parents, both pronounce it in the same way! Everyone else will follow. :-) But sure, the name might be misspelled. But many of us have to live with that... # posted by Anonymous : 1:55 PM Post a Comment
