D'oh! I just realized that I can't name my kids after any of AEPhi's founders!

It is Jewish tradition to name a child for a deceased relative, but only to use the first letter of the relative's name. For instance, you might name your child Jennifer after her grandfather Jacob. (You can cross genders.)

I had a grandmother named Helen and my husband has a grandmother named Rose, so there go three of the founders. As for the other four, they don't share any initials with any of my or my husband's relatives.

Fortunately there aren't any G's either, so my future offspring don't have to worry about being named Giraffe after all
