I got another baby girl!

Nau is holding her new born sister. She's born at March 17. We have not decided on her name yet.

While considering a name that would alliterate with Nau, her sister's, and would pass for a nice Korean name, like Na-eun, Na-yon, etc., I cannot find one that has similar mythical depth as her sister's (from Nausicaa).

If you have any suggestion I would be greatly grateful to get one.

Congratulations! What a happy St. Patrick's day it must have been for you. I have no help to offer on the name, but she sure is cute (they both are!).

Congratulations. Is it due to our different cultures that it would take that long to choose a name? Many couples here will have a name picked our before a baby is born. Maybe it is because a greater significance is attached to the meaning of a name in Korea than here. That is not a bad thing.

I could try that for addressing a baby. Thanks. :wink:

The official name for my baby's being fixed to be Na-eun ('eu' here is no diphthong, but the transcription for a Korean vowel close to Swedish u) mostly for euphony. I might rather write her name as 'Naun' for brevity's sake. And it would look a bit like a Greek word. And I could expand it into a Greek epithet. How about χιλιόναυν, reminding of Helen whose beauty moved thousand ships?

My congratulations to you, Mingshey! She's adorable!

(Also, bababooey has some very negative connotations with it... Like Howard Stern.)
