I love this so much. My name definitely causes confusion here. Hardly anyone pronounces it correctly. Everyone says Rō instead of Ra. Everyone assumes I’m black and is surprised when they meet me. I have always loved my name though. Most kids I know when through a phase where they didn’t care for their names. Riley Ann was easy since she was named after my Momma, and I always knew I’d incorporate Riley. Jaxon Crew was harder and took 5-6 days to come up with, so he came home from the hospital nameless. Memphis Boone was tough. We didn’t find out the sex and nothing suited him just right until we said Memphis. Boone I loved for a long time since it’s a good southern name and I love double names, so that makes it harder. Barry loved Ripp, but we couldn’t make that a double name no matter what we tried. I adore all three of my babies names. In the states even in the hospital they act like you have to name them before you can go home. It’s simply not true though the birth certificate lady this last time was awful to the point that I had to complain. She wouldn’t stop hounding us. I wasn’t going to pick a name to satisfy her, so she finally gave up. I love this article so much. Thanks.
