Yay, the name discussions are back! Thanks, Kelly! Love names, and choose them with tlc. But mine is a cautionary tale. Practice how the first three or four letters sound together, as that’s how any name will likely be shortened by those unfamiliar. I knew boys that grew up as athletes and became known as ‘Rim’, thanks to their surname, which is longer. Choose wisely!
