My mid...I see you've already chosen Maeve, dang it. My middle name is Kathleen, so of course, that's my choice being selfish and all. LOL<BR/><BR/>Maeve is pronounced Mehv, right?<BR/><BR/>I'm with Eli on the whole, if it's hard to pronounce, don't use it thing, or at least explain how to say it. I would never have guessed that Cian is pronounced Keen, and I'm Irish, hence Kathleen. ;)<BR/><BR/>So I hope Maeve likes her name; at least it's not Dorcas. Ugh! What a mean thing to call your child.

That's the har...Way to go on getting the hook done! That's the hardest part. I'm struggling with mine...AGAIN. GAH!!!<BR/><BR/>I personally like Kathleen. I try to stay away from names that might be mispronounced by readers. Don't know why, just a personal thing. The last book I read, the hero's name was Cian. I kept pronouncing it wrong in my head until I flipped to the back of the book and read the glossary where it gave the correct pronounciation. It's Irish (and I'm Irish, too, DUH!), so I should have known, but I didn't.<BR/><BR/>I had a character in my book named Maren. I absolutely love that name. Everyone who's read it pronounces it wrong, which floors me because Maren is the name of Mel Gibson's dead wife in Braveheart, so I just figured everone would know how to pronounce it. Guess not.Elisabeth Naughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310370376567468626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-1164740620385187532006-11-28T11:03:00.000-08:002006-11-28T11:03:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Elisabeth Naughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310370376567468626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-1164740099862624302006-11-28T10:54:00.000-08:002006-11-28T10:54:00.000-08:00I like Maeve, but Kathleen is nice too.
