At my sister's wedding Saturday night I was talking to this woman who works with my dad. She's 6 months pregnant with a boy and I asked her and her husband if they knew what they were going to name him yet. They said they are thinking about Colin (or Collin, I didn't ask how they're spelling it) and I said, "Oh, that's a nice name." Then the husband said, "And we are thinking of Logan for the middle name."

GASP.

Me: Oh. No, don't do that. Too many "in" sounds. That's not good. Please don't name your kid Colin Logan.

I sincerely hope they consider my advice. Maybe I can save this kid from a lifetime with a terrible name.

Oh, and did I mention that the last name ends with an "in" sound as well?

People just don't think.

Air-in and Kare-in

As I said, it must be an accent thing. :) I would not say Air-in. I know to some people Carrie and Kerry sound alike but to me they are completely different.

Yeah same here. And here I thought I was the only one. LOL

Oh, good, I am not alone! :) I think it's along the same line as merry/marry. Those sound completely different to me but a lot of people pronounce them the same. I have a bit of an Irish twang, though, so I don't know what your excuse is. :)
