My mother's name is Carlyn (car-lin), and when she was young, the teacher always tried to get her to put in the o to make it Carolyn. She was tired of the hassle, so we are Cathie, Danny, Becky, Kelly, and Mike. I didn't want plain names but did want pronouncable ones, so have Wyatt, Rindy, Alex and Lanae. We have to spell our last name always, so easy first names help.
