Comments on: And for that name, which is no part of thee http://www.irrationaldad.com/2009/03/and-for-that-name-which-is-no-part-of-thee.html The life and times of an irrational father.

He informed her that it was pronounced, luh-MON-juh-lo. We named our kids Josh, Brian and Timothy. Still, we may have messed up slightly if some day some wise guy gives our youngest the nickname "Buck" and he becomes Tim "Buck" Tew.

I'm a super name picking freak. We also don't share our choices beforehand, for fear of hearing ANY criticism about them. Oh, AND? We have a middle-name-James child, too. :0) <abbr><em>AMomTwoBoys’s last blog post..<a href="http://amomtwoboys.com/2009/03/scarecrows/" rel="nofollow">SCARECROWS</a></abbr></em> Love this post.

MIL was still ungracious about the whole thing. You will never please everyone, but I am with you on the weird/unusual name thing. Don't get pissy with me if I can't pronounce a name you made up. <abbr><em>NATUI’s last blog post..<a href="http://notafraidtouseit.blogspot.com/2009/03/technology-gone-too-far.html" rel="nofollow">Technology Gone Too Far</a></abbr></em> We had numerous name hoops to jump through, mainly trying to find a name that worked in both languages.

First both of my kids have first/middle name alliterations going on. Secondly, our son's name is the same as a famous biblical figure as in he gets asked where his ark is a lot, and just to make sure we screwed the girl up just as much, we gave her the same name as the state we live in. You may want to call the name police on us. <abbr><em>Cat’s last blog post..<a href="http://mynameiscat.blogspot.com/2009/03/happy-blogiversary-to-me.html" rel="nofollow">Happy Blogiversary to Me!</a></abbr></em> Oh, we couldn’t be more different over here.
