My first child was born more than 21 years ago, but I remember how difficult it was to choose a name. First, I was convinced I was having a boy, and I didn't spend much time thinking about girl's names.
I did have Erin picked out. Then she was born, and she had a shock of red hair. Erin seemed even more appropriate, and the name "Heather" popped into my head.
Then it became a struggle -- would it be Erin Heather, or Heather Erin?

From Daniel:
I don’t know how I got named Daniel. My parents chose for me, obviously.
And because they put some thoughts into it – I’m sure – I respect their choice and that’s why I never liked being called Dan. Because that’s NOT the name my parents chose for me.
We rarely do the name-shortening thing in French. I cannot fathom why someone would take the time to choose a beautiful name for their daughter, like Pamela or Samantha only to start calling them Pam & Sam a few weeks later. Totally silly!
