[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the process I would go through for myself: 1. Do I like the name? 2. Is it part of my or my husband's family heritage? 3. If I borrowed it from another culture or "made it up," do I know what it means or what it sounds like--does it have a connotation I approve of? (e.g., "Chablis" -- sound pretty, it's French, but, c'mon, it's a wine/grape). All that being said, if you're Japanese and you know that it's a "real name" (not just the name of a kind of sushi) then I'd go for it. Otherwise, be prepapred for your daught to go to Japan or meet Japanese-speakers and have to explain why she's named something analgous to "cole slaw." FYI: I had no associations with the names you're considering, and I thought it looked and sounded really pretty.[/quote] Totally agree, PP. Love the 3-step process.[/quote]
