We're trying, but it's harder than I expected. Apparently, somewhere in the back of my mind I assumed I'd marry someone who was Ukranian like me, or at least some brand of Slavic. I like Ivan (Vanya), Istvan, and various versions of Nicholas for boys and Irina, Elena, Theodosia, and Sohpia for girls.
Problem is, I married Mr. WASP (well, WASC now, he covnerted to Catholicism). Seriously, the family tree his mother has constructed has over 21,000 people on it, goes back to before the Norman Conquest, and contains names like Holland, Howard, Kendall, deQuincy and Arden. My baby wil be the sixteenth-generation grandchild of St. Thomas More. While that kicks serious ass, Istvan does not go with our last name.
This is getting crazy long...stay tuned, I'll just do a new entry. I've been wanting to think out loud about this anyway.
