    LOL - yeah everyone is saying it in completely different ways. Thinking more about it, even if we change the spelling, it will still be awkward. Knowing me, one day just onw more person will say it the wrong way and I will snap - and that person probably won't deserve it!

    So we are looking for different ones now. I hate having a choice, I just like to make my mind up and that's it. To much choice and undecidedness makes me stress!

    I love Matisse too, but DH says its a car (and a crappy one at that) so that's a no go.

    Our surname is one of those eastern european names that end in "ski" - so some others we came up with were

    Mariska
    Anastazja (polish way of spelling - do you think that looks nice or funny?)
    Ilinka

    saram - I love how your son introduces himself!

    oh and yes - more like Mr Skywalker is how it was to be pronounced.

    Please keep the feedback/ideas coming, DD was named from the word go and I hate that tis is all up in the air now!

    Anielka - Gracious/Beaautiful - Polish
    Anya - Gracious - Russian
    Milena - People's Love - Russian
    Nadia - Hope - Slavic
    Saskia - Protector of Mankind - Slavic
    Elke - Noble/Kind - Dutch
    Schuyler - Scholar - Dutch (pro. Shy-ler)

    I like Mariska from your list and also Ilinka.

    I like Anastazja. Spelling it would be tricky though. (Says the one who has Jazmyne rather than Jasmine)
