As you all know I'm in the middle of choosing a new name to replace my current one, Woori-Mei. I have drawn up a short list of five, favouring two of those, and one in particular. That one being the first I really came up with as a serious possibility. There are 1000's of girls' names to look through, and there are dozens of lists of those on the internet as well, so I googled asking for the best sites to narrow the seach. I went to one of them just now www.babynamegenie.com/baby-name-generatorAll it does it ask you select gender, and enter your surname, it then generates a name for you. I did just that, and the very first result it came up was the name I've been favouring the most. I think that this probably seals the deal, but will sleep on it.

I think if ever there was to be a sign from the universe - that would be it! I'm excited to hear what it is (when you're ready, of course )

There was another coincidence with that name yesterday too. I won't say now as it'll make more sense once you know the name.
I know the name now it's just the spelling and punctuation. I'll probably ask for opinions later today.

Punctuation... I'm scared This just immediately made me think of something I was told years ago by a university friend who was doing teacher training at the time. They had a child in their class called "Ledasha", which is quite a nice name. Except, the parents hadn't spelled it like that. This poor child's name was spelled "L-a". The dash sound in their name was spelled with an actual dash...

Don't worry Maria. I haven't gone for anything quite as extraordinary as that. It's only whether or not to put a hyphen in e.g. Dora-Lee or Dora Lee. That isn't it by the by the way.
The spelling is what letters to use for the vowel sounds by the way.

Hi woori, I’m quite as impatient as curious. punctuation, I’m really curious. 💋 Well I suppose I'm just going to make a new thread, and ask for everyone's opinion then. I now feel like I'm being all coy about this for the sake of it.

Only when you're ready to We're not trying to rush you. I just thought I'd share that story as it makes me laugh (until I think of that poor child...) and you mentioning punctuation reminded me of it.

After we will call you as you are…😉💋
