[Opinions] Re: Delilah?
That's correct, we were working on renaming her (or nicknaming her) and DH suggested I call her one of the FEW new names we both liked- and see how it fit. I started to call her Delilah and then all this "stuff" transpired...He got cold feet about it when my mother and friend piped in with their negative comments. As for my friend, I only see her daughter about 4 times a year and I do not plan on calling the child Lila-I think of it as a different name and do not use nicknames. And personally, I find my friend's attitude rather juvenile and off-putting such that no matter what name I call the child-I'd be inclined to steer clear now. She equated my calling my child Delilah tantamount to her calling a boy "D'Schuyler," as my son's name is Schuyler. Hmmm. I wonder if all other names with LIL or any other parts of her child's names would be considered trademarked.My DH DOES like the name, he has stricken it from the list due to all this outside interference.

Point of orderI wondered the same thing at first. But since your current screen name is Callistago, not anxi(sorry I forgot the whole thing) I didn't bother. It's generally accepted (and possibly a rule) that you must keep to one name, unless you announce otherwise. We have problems with people pretending to be more than one person. I know you didn't mean to do that, but it still helps if you keep to one name. Thanks!(I've been away for a few days so if you already made the name change announcement, then please ignore.) :-)

So sorry-I did mention the screen name change in another post a week or so ago, I saw an option for a screen name and did not realize I had to make a formal announcement-but did make a mention of it. I didn't know of the protocol and didn't think twice since it still reads authenticated as anxiolytics-apologies for any error!

Well I'm sorry you seem to be having such a long struglle in naming your little girl. I hope you guys can figure this out soon.

Thanks- It does seem like an inordinate amount of work has gone into something that, once finally settled, needed to get uprooted yet again-I am sure we'll settle on a name (if not two or three!) someday!
