so how about the name Lievin, pronounced lee-ay-vin, for a boy? I kinda like it--it's got a similar sound to Levi but without being as common as I think Levi is starting to get. I'm not sure what the nationality is, but it's the name of a priest I know from the congo. I wonder if it translates to anything in english. I should ask him, but he's back in the congo now.

stating an opinion is one thing, swearing and completely poo-pooing a name that someone likes, kinda mean and tackie. i don't want you to challenge me on this, i'm simply stating from experience, it hurts when a comment over a name is so brutally honest. Adding "but if you like it, go for it mom!" would have been a kind gesture...i'm just saying.

Uh.

I didn't swear. Every word I said can safely appear on the radio and network TV. So don't try to go FCC on me.

And I shouldn't have to sugarcoat my opinion on a name. When someone ASKS for feedback, I'm going to give it. Besides that, I wasn't MEAN. I just said that the French spelling shouldn't be changed, and that cities and French surnames aren't a good basis for naming a child.
