Name thing
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. While we chose a unusual name, it came with an up and coming nickname. Finns are everywhere, and mine is not. Four years ago we chose that name. It fit. It was and is his name, and I don't regret using it. It just cuts a little harder than I thought it would. Damn.

It's so sad hearing your child's name and wishing so badly you were able to say it to your child. We chose the name Jeremiah only after learning our baby had died, and thought it was unusual enough we wouldn't have to hear it all the time. Wrong. Soon after that the Jeremiah Wright/Obama story erupted.
You are so right, Annie. It is yet another reminder of what was meant to be. I'm sorry Jeremiah's name was in such negative press.
