Before our first child ...Staying Afloat -- Thanks. Before our first child was born, we decided that we would only give our children one name. That "rule" worked for our girls. But when I was pregnant with our son, we had a real dilemma. We named all our children after our grandparents. But, just before our son was conceived, a very close friend of ours was murdered and we really wanted to honor his memory as well. So, our son has two names, and we call him by both names.<br /><br />Tesyaa -- I started using my Jewish name within a few months of starting college. So, it is unlikely you would know me by my other name. Most probably, you know me as RivkA. And, if you saw me, you would remember me. I recognized you from your picture. <br /><br />Mikimmi -- you're not kidding! <br /><br />Liba -- I'm patient... I'll just keep correcting you! ;-)RivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411034058195730044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-15167800247140777352010-02-10T23:46:16.926+02:002010-02-10T23:46:16.926+02:00I try to say it right. :(

Strangely, my cousin named his oldest daughter Rivka not knowing that it was our late grandmother's name - he thought her name must have been Raizel or Shoshana based on her English name.<br /><br />But if you used your English name in college, that is what I would remember. And I don't! I can't place you!

I know what you mean about having two different names used in different settings, and you had such a touching reason to use a different name. <br /> <br />My oldest has a name that we translated from the original Yiddish my grandmother had. It has an often used nickname that I won't use, because I've already changed the name- I don't want to change it again.<br /><br />Do your children have middle names?Staying Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228636990839399469noreply@blogger.com
