Random Name

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

I released a young man from placement today and thought I would share his daughter's name with everyone - she's a beautiful baby and I'm proud to say, reasonably well named (and her parents are 15 and 16):

Nataly Vanessa (Vanessa is mom's mn). The spelling bugged me for a minute, but I got over it, just exchanged the ie for a y.

She was almost an Ashley at the last moment, but I'm glad they kept Nataly.

that is cute, hate that they changed the ie for a y but I can get over that too since they do it in Spanish all the time.

LOL and they are Hispanic. Dad is from Mexico mom is from Guatemala.

that is why then since Natalie for Spanish speakers would be Nuh-tuh-lee-eh hee hee. I have a cousin names Valery because her dad didn't want anyone using the ee-eh ending ever so he just swapped it to a y.

Since I know the correct spelling is Valerie and Natalie, the -y just makes me go 'eck' but oh well, now you know why they did it xD
