Names

I have joked I can't have any more children because with five first and middle names I can't think of anymore.  I always wanted my children to have Hebrew names and names that could be shortened into nicknames. (I know some people want just the opposite)  My husband wanted to make sure they weren't too unusual or hard for Americans to say.  He had a brother that passed away in 1996 named Joey.  We named our oldest boy Yosef in his honor.  The poor boy has had to say "no that's a Y not a J" for almost 12 years now.  We thought we were being safer with the second but amazingly despite the popularity of Zachary, and the fact that it is a book of the Bible no one seems to know how to spell Zachariah.  With my daughter I thought I found the perfect balance of unusual but still "easy".  Even though I had never heard the name before I have met no less than ten Elianas since she was born.  Nathaniel has had better luck with people being familiar with his name.  For some reason it has never been shortened to Nate, little guy, big name.  When I found out I was pregnant the last time, the first name on my list was Naomi, it was the one my husband liked most too even before we had discussed it.  It seemed a natural fit.  Nathaniel calls her Mimi, I don't know if it will stick. So Yosef Dahvid, Zachariah Michael, Eliana Abigail, Nathaniel Levi and Naomi Tova.  I am officially out of names
