RE: mulch NOW Names

Zem, we wanted to name our older daughter Tzeitel (after Tevia's eldest
daughter in Fiddler on the Roof) but decided she might get too much of a
razzing and she might have trouble spelling it, so we gave her Tzeitel as a
middle name and Shana as a first name.  By the time she hit Jr. High, she
was pretty fed up with being Shana and by 9th grade, started going by her
middle name of Tzeitel.  Daughter Rayna, on the other hand, loves her name
and wouldn't dream of changing it (except for the last name some day.)
Obviously there is meaning in the names given by parents, but the big
question is whether the child will recognize the sentiment that went into
choosing that name?  BTW, I like the name Zem.

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Just try having "Zemuly" for a name.  I was in the fourth grade before I 
could even spell it!  It's a good thing I don't mind being a little
different. 
<LOL> Most people, however, are not comfortable with my name and call me
"Ruth," 
which is my middle name.  I prefer zem.
