Nicknames

Okay, now we're debating what to actually call our new daughter. I like Charlie, Darrell likes Rorie, and Rose likes both.

What do you think?

And you have my vote for "Aurie," too, of course. :D

[bookgirl83]

Of course, Kyle and Darrell both also suggested Charro, and my mom likes Rora.

What about Lotte (pronounced "Lottie")? Of course, it makes me think of Phantom of the Opera

RAOUL
"Little Lotte let her mind wander . . ."
CHRISTINE
You remember that, too . . .
RAOUL (continuing)
". . . Little Lotte thought: Am I fonder
of dolls . . ."
BOTH (CHRISTINE joining in)
". . . or of goblins,
of shoes . . ."
CHRISTINE
". . . or of riddles.
of frocks . . ."
RAOUL
Those picnics in the attic . . .
". . . or of chocolates . . ."
CHRISTINE
Father playing the violin . . .
RAOUL
As we read to each other
dark stories of the North . . .
CHRISTINE
"No what I love best, Lotte said,
is when I'm asleep in my bed,
and the Angel of Music sings songs in my
head!"

Rorie is too much of an awkward mouthful for me...AND conjures up images of the ever annoying Gilmore Girls. But mostly it's the sound. It's strange. Something about the two r's.

Charlie is super cute. I also like Carly.

i like them both! i guess Rorie edges out Charlie, but Rorie /is/ harder to say. Charlie is a better girl's name than boy's, but it still makes me think "boy." ack! i'm no help.

[bookgirl83]

Yeah, the thinking "boy" was Darrell's biggest problem with Charlie.
It looks like it will be Rorie; I've been outvoted. Not that it's a big deal I like them both :)
