[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like it. Either use the name (first or middle) or not at all...don't "fix" it by calling him Francis which is not your father's name. We gave our son an extremely unusual (northern European) middle name to continue a family tradition. There is zero chance of basically anyone spelling it right or saying it right. I'm happy with it...it's just his middle name so he won't have to help with pronuciation/spelling on a regular basis and honors our family. I was shocked/offended when friends asked me why we didn't "fix" it to be an American sounding name. [/quote] Håkon? Please be Håkon! That was on our list, but when my very-in-favor-of-the-name mother kept pronouncing it Hack-on, it got the axe. Axel was another on the list. :) I probably wouldn't use it, but only because of the missing cedille.[/quote]
