This has grown on me so much. I feel like it'll get trendy soon and I am rooting for it very much.
I was reintroduced to it via this post
http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2008/9/namers-remorse and the comment:
How do you think it would fly if we sent out a double birth announcement when our next baby is born (should it be a boy), something like this? :
"We are delighted to introduce to you our son Barnaby Merit _____.
In light of this development, we would also like to announce that our nearly-two-year-old, previously known as Beatrix Joanna, will henceforth be called Clementine Joanna. We still like Beatrix better, but, you know, you can't have two B's in the same family, so something had to give."
What a splendid combo, eh? And sibset pair! I want to know the other siblings names really bad.
Anyway my friend
Grace just texted me and said "
Dorothy Adelaide wdyt" and I like it
a lot, interesting unexpected balance of dark and light, and I asked her about
Merit and she said "Too puritan. Imagine it being said in class." I disagree, I don't think it's puritan at all and it rocks in class.
