I think that it makes sense that REALLY was her FIRST name, it shows respect, it gives her privacy so she doesn't have to share her story, but it keeps her past from being too easily overlooked in the day to day issues of life because it will come up now and again._https://www.blogger.com/profile/16045401564948651914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447925432958534732.post-91419212986201517822010-05-14T17:25:47.763-04:002010-05-14T17:25:47.763-04:00Very funny to read, Catherine Joy (who shall likel...Very funny to read, Catherine Joy (who shall likely always be JOY to me!).

We just adopted our 4 year old son, QingXin Julian from China last month and have kept QingXin as his first name and are planning to call him Julian (his middle name!), therefore this post was very interesting to me! We chose to keep our son's given name as his first name to honour it and wanted to give him Julian as the middle name that he will go by here ;0)<br />Thanks for the post ;0)<br />Sincerely, TashaTashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797130037882055827noreply@blogger.com
