Re: Explaining your child's name.....

Actually most people really love it, but as long as it means what it means to me, I dont care what anyone thinks. Chat Icon Chat Icon (nothing to do with the singer)


Corinne- I also thought it was Cor-in.

I went to high school with a Carine who pronounced it "Ca-reen" also.

Re: Explaining your child's name.....

This thread has me Chat Icon .

I always have to spell my son's names for people.

The first is Nicolas, so whenever his name is being written I say "Nicolas with no H" and always get an odd look or a "Why did you spell it that way". Honestly I don't think it's unusual.

My second son is Alec, which I constantly have to spell or he gets called Alex. Even by family members.Chat Icon

Re: Explaining your child's name.....

i get this too but not for dd for me.
My name is Noel ( Noelle) but spelled Noel so i get oh thats a guys name isnt it. No that would be pronounced Noel
(rhymes with Joel) this is Noelle but spelled Noel.. Why did my mom have to torture me with a unisex spelling. Oh i should mention there is two dots overthe E so it changeds the pronuciation.. UHHH
