We finally went with a name we could convert his Russian nickname into...so we planned to call him Alyoshka and then segue into Yoshka and then Joshka and finally Josh. Turns out it was all a waste of time...he didn't know his name! Hadn't heard it enough...<br />But we were happy with the name we chose and that was the important part. <br />I love the name you have chosen for your son! I love that you put so much of yourself into the choosing!<br />AmyAmy Rankinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15863722248845615838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533250459832170913.post-6116339230387562052010-03-17T13:42:36.644-06:002010-03-17T13:42:36.644-06:00I love it, and I love what it means for you! Very ...I love it, and I love what it means for you! Very sweet. As for me 2 cents . . . we changed our daughter's name (because the pronunciation in English, Swedish and Russian were all completely different, AND, she also was used to the Russian nickname form - which is horrible in Canadian English) with trepidation because she was so strong willed we thought she'd be very angry about it. Turns out that she loves her new name - she started calling herself it right away. If we look at old pictures together and refer to her Russian name, she corrects us and tells us what her name is.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147469600122876775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533250459832170913.post-66734048731587903492010-03-17T11:39:41.371-06:002010-03-17T11:39:41.371-06:00Stacey love his name!
