[Opinions] Thanks everyone!
in reply to a message by Erin
I've already "doomed" my first daughter to forever spelling her name (It's Kaelyn from the Irish name Caoilainn- and she is always asked "Caitlin?" :) ) so I'm not too disturbed by this child always having to spell Brigit. But, I still have mixed feelings about it. While I know that the more "authentic" Irish spellings are Brighid and such, those are also prn. more like "breed" than the "brij-it" that we want. I guess I'll have to see what hubby's input is and we'll go from there. But thanks again for your input- even if I'm just as split (if not more!) than I was before! :)
