babynamesI haven't been here in a while because our adoption went through. So now I have a one month old and his name is Henry Xavier.
But I wanted to pop in to share an article with you that my cousin-in-law posted on Facebook. I wish we could slip it to some of the people who do the weird spellings so they could see the research on what that can do to their kids.

I asked her why she named the poor kid after Superman's father back on the planet Krypton. She had no idea that 'Jorel' was the name of a comic book character."
"I know a little girl whose name is Jailin. Spelled exactly like that. Why? Her mom was pissed because the dad was in jail when she went into labor, so she named their child to constantly remind him what an ass she thought he was..."
Damn, people are stupid.
