Of course, I took a Spanish name for my classes in school. I'd love to hear more about which names were options for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-65634486250956727052011-10-03T08:15:35.132-05:002011-10-03T08:15:35.132-05:00Lovely to read and see this, of a talented woman.
...Lovely to read and see this, of a talented woman.<br /><br />Maybe it sounds funny for you, but here in Finland, when we started to learn English (at the age of 9), we "got" English names that our teacher chose for us. <br /><br />Mine was Amy. I think that it sounds very pretty, and much like my Finnish name. We pronounce things in Finnish very differently, and if I wrote "Amy" in Finnish, it would become "Eimi". I really like that.<br /><br />Lovely to find here.

I've hated having the name in the past because it was so different, but I do love it after all. Lovely post and interview - I've been following her blog for years.

Such a great dimension to an already lovely name! <br /><br />Also..."simple, elegant, and practical." Criteria I absolutely agree with.<br /><br />I could see a Laure in that collection, easy. Otherwise, I love the names already listed.

As much as it's also an adjective, where I'm from there are many who would scarcely bat an eyelash if they heard it. I know you said colour, but Jenny said Cotton ;)<br /><br />Daisy honours my beloved grandmother. My name lists are ever-changing and my future hubby will get to have a say, but Daisy is one name I've put my foot down on. It will be used as a middle name for my daughter if I ever do have one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317440380138960058.post-73014249891221174262011-09-15T21:07:36.334-05:002011-09-15T21:07:36.334-05:00love Nell, Mer!
