Thoughts on Names

On the way back from babysitting The Canadian’s children we came up with a few ideas on names.

I like multisyllabic names.

The way they tumble out of the month like a stream dashing down the rocks of a creek appeals to my sense of rhythm. Makes you think about the name.

Consider its value.

Heft its weight.

Taste its flavor.

I hope my child is happy and joyful and enthusiastic about life. But I want her to have a name that conveys seriousness and intellgence.

Quite a challenge.
