Husband and I were at a cocktail party last week and the subject of naming children came up. The guests were a combination of new grandparents and parents with preteens. Admittedly this is a very west coast crowd (so no "southern multiple naming" is generally done here).
I will say that one of my children does have my maiden name as his or her middle name. General consensus: misspelled names, cutsy names put kids at a disadvantage. As one grandmother (newly minted) said that she was grateful that the first set of names were rejected...if it was a girl the thought was: Bambee.
I'm not saying what the last name is except to say that this child would have had every teacher fighting for laughter control. The parents settled on Rebecca or Robert.
Cadence? as in music cadence?. Seriously?
