What’s in a name?

Ciara Ann Mullinax -- What's in a name.

Everyone, thanks again!  Kim and I have so enjoyed reading the messages here and on facebook from everyone through all the craziness the past few days. (All of us are doing well too…)

We hope to get a photo gallery up soon, probably at costco.com and then an e-mail to everyone that we have on our contact lists since word has only been spread by phone or facebook so far…

What we have observed from family recently is there’s a little confusion on the pronunciation of Ciara’s first name.

The best way, as Kim and I can figure, is to say Kee-Ra.  Here’s a short “as it would sound if you lived in Ireland” clip to listen to, courtesy babynamesofireland.com.

We chose the name Ciara because of a few different simple reasons.

1. It maintains the uniquely Irish first name that the two boys have.

2. It would be difficult to shorten.

3. It’s darn pretty.

So remember, pass it on, it’s Kee-Ra (laugh)  Take care everyone.  I’ll post when things calm down.

Oh yeah, don’t forget to watch the video from her first day!
