    My son's name is Daniel (because you really can't go wrong with Bible names)
    If our next child is a girl, I'm really pushing for Cordelia (my husband hates this name), but I think it's so pretty and very old and unique.

    Two general rules to avoid a lifetime of resentment from your child:

    1. If you have to explain how to pronounce it ... choose a different name.
    2. If you have to explain how to spell it ... choose a different name.

    Please don't saddle your child with a name that will ALWAYS be mispronounced and/or misspelled.

    LOL my sister still misspells my middle name, but it's my middle name so I don't get too upset, and I've come to enjoy the unique spelling, Ranae, rather than Renee

    My best friend's name is Emily Rene. I thought it was spelled differently, too, until I met her Aunt Rene. :)

    My Aunt Diane ALWAYS misspells my name, and my Dad always wants to spell my sister's name with a K, even though he helped name her Caitlin. Oh dear.

    Adding more love for Rhys. :heart:

    Also @Bronwen, I absolutely adore your name. It was on my list for a long time, but I could never get my husband on board. I might an amazing women named Bronwen when I was a teen, and it really stuck with me.

    And, @rblair- Cordelia is another one I love. I wanted a little Cordelia nicknamed Delia- but then my husband would start signing Johnny Cash and never stop! :laugh:
