Good luck with the baby naming. Again, may I make the suggestion of Emily?? :) May I suggest some of the names my husband likes to throw around for the future of our children (I pray we won’t have children…. or at least make sure he’s not around the birth certificate with a pen!)-

Spatula
Claire (as a middle name, with the caviot that the first name start with an ‘E’; that way she would be elaire)
Billl (with a silent ‘l’)
Chevron (he would be called Ron)
Ste7ve (with a silent 7… are you sensing a pattern??)

Good luck with the baby naming. Again, may I make the suggestion of Emily?? :)

"Kristine with a K" and then they start writing, and then I have to say "I-N-E." And then they write "I-N-A" and I have to restrain myself from throttling them, because they weren't listening to me. My own father-in-law STILL spells it wrong. Oh and One time "Kristine with a K" turned into "Christine McKay." After which I decided that if I was only going to deal with people briefly, they didn't need to know a proper spelling of my name. Which then led to Creepy Brian at my last job calling me "Christina" I swear to GOD I thought I'd never see him again and it freaking backfired on me. I'm just saying...normal spellings please.
