Birthday present question
Don't worry about doing either. If you just can't do that , then go with
the book thing. You did however open my eyes to something I never thought about before. When I throw my twins parties I ask for no gifts because they already have everything. I never thought about how uncomfortable that may make some parents. Now I will just say in lieu of gifts donate to the food bank or something like that. Almetra http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/b/britetwins/ "Andrea" wrote in message ... Jordan and Madison have been invited to a classmate's birthday party. The invitation had "please no gifts" on it. I want to respect the parents' no gift decision, but I feel bad about going to a party and not bringing anything. Would it be appropriate to either donate a book to the local library in the child's name or else give the child a TCBY gift certificate for his family to enjoy ice cream treats? I'm leaning towards the first idea. What do you all think? TIA, Andrea twin girls-Madison & Jordan 3/22/00 |

Almetra,
I just had to comment on your two. They are beautiful!!! I love Malea's name also. We had a similar name on our list, Malia but my husband nixed it. ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ |

Birthday present question
Thank you, as well.
Iliana-(long E-LEE-AH-NA) Elidia(long A-lee-deea) I feel that we may have set our daughter Aislyn up for a life time of explanations. Every time someone reads her name off they pronounce it A's-lynnwith a long A but we pronounce it eyes-lynn. It actually is of Celtic origin and pronounced ash-Lynn but we put our own spin on it. My husband is Hispanic and he chose all the middle names that are more common Hispanic names all though not of Hispanic orgin. In Spanish the E always makes a long A sound and I makes a long E sound. ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ |

I feel that we may have set our daughter Aislyn up for a life time of
explanations. Every time someone reads her name off they pronounce it A's-lynnwith a long A but we pronounce it eyes-lynn. I get this all the time with my name. It's pronounced (short a) sash-uh. I can not tell you how many times I've been called (long a) sah-sha. Explaining it gets old as well. If I know I'm not going to meet the person again I usually don't correct them. I hope your daughter doesn't have this problem! "KimandJuan" wrote in message ... Thank you, as well.

It's amazing to me how many times people have pronounced my name "Seeth" (long e) when it's clearly spelled "Seth" (short e). Would these people pronounce "Beth" as "Beeth"? -- -Seth Jackson, proud father of Derek and Mariel(10/1/99).
