3 Questions

1. What is your preferred spelling of /Lee/? I always think of Leigh for a girl and Lee for a boy. But I'm sure you could write Li, Lei, Lea, or other possibilities. What seems "normal" to you?

2. How do you feel about nicknames? My husband is a "my name is Daniel, NOT Dan, thankyouverymuch" kind of person. He believes you should name the child what you plan on calling it (if you want to call your kid Tim, name him Tim and not Timothy). I'm on the other side. I wish my name (Sarah) had an obvious nickname, because I think nicknames are friendly and/or intimate. Where do you stand?

3. What do you people DO all day? This is the most active community I've ever been in. ;)

2. I agree with your husband, and I hate when people "plan out" their child's nickname. If you want your kid to be called Jack, don't name him "John nn Jack" (or maybe it's the other way around - Jack nn John?). Just name him Jack!

3. A lot of this community is probably students who are on summer break. As for me, I work and take summer school but I'm on the internet a lot while I'm at work. :)
