I grew up with a name I didn't like...
I didn't really notice when I was young of course... but as I got older I started to cringe when introducing myself... I waited for the inevitable looks of puzzlement, and the same stupid questions... over and over...
 I cringed in doctors offices or anywhere that called you by name... they always mispronounced my name... I used to feel people staring at me wondering about my unusual name
I cringed in doctors offices or anywhere that called you by name... they always mispronounced my name... I used to feel people staring at me wondering about my unusual nameI started to try out different names... trying them on for size... trying to find something that felt like me...
When I found Rhianon I was thrilled - it just fitted...

Choosing a name for another person is a huge responsibility. A name is both merely a label, and an essential aspect of a person's identity... its nothing and everything...
So I have been thinking about children's names for all of my adult life... playing with them in my mouth... and now as I start to get closer to the reality of having a child I of course start thinking more seriously about it... My dad says I am being premature, but hey...these are the fun bits right? More fun than all the doctors and needles and syringes...
So I am tossing around some ideas... all feedback welcome - though of course ultimately its gotta feel right coming out of my mouth... and I will possibly throw all ideas out the window in the face of the real little person - they may come with their own name written all over them...

So for a boy...the current favourite is
Jackson Tomas Vichta
and a girl...
Sara Isabella Vichta 
or
Saraya Bella Vichta
or
Sara Sophia Vichta
or
Saraya Bella Vichta
