So, my wife and I are expecting our third in September. And, of course, we throw back and forth baby names most every day. One that we both like is Blaise. (For a boy)
However, according to the name book, Blaise means "stutter" or some such, and that got us thinking....wouldn't it be terrible if the kid ended up with a speech impediment that caused him to not be able to say his own name.
"Hi, my name it Blai-the!"
Of course, we spent a while laughing at all the names you could do that with...including our 1 year old, Isaac. (Ithaac)
Or what if a kid couldn't say their Rs?
"Hi, my name it Wobert!"
Just was wondering if we're the only parents to consider impediments when choosing child names.
**No offense intended to anyone who might themthevthes be in thith pwidicament. Weally.
PS- I would love my child no less if they had a speech impediment or any other affliction. I just wouldn't want them to have to deal with the embaressment of not being able to say their own name. (My parents don't hate me just cus I can't spell!)
