Name Frustrations

Okay...I can't do it. I can't just keep calling her Kendi, or even Kendi Mae. She's got to be Kendi Mabel. Every time I leave off the Mabel I feel like I'm disrespecting her. She's not legally our child yet. And even if she was, she's still Mabel. I love her as Mabel, even though I do NOT love that name! Maybe 3 years from now I will look at this post and laugh at myself, thinking, "How could she ever have been anything but Kendi!" But right now she is something other than Kendi. She is Mabel. So I'll cut myself a break. Kendi Mabel Anadane Gillispie is not as "pretty" maybe. But that's what I think her name should be. Kendi Mae for short? Sure! But she's still Mabel. Always will be. Now, I've got to talk to Eric! =-)
