Cheers, Kim, for posting the non-Disney connection that I was deciding whether or not to mention. I think the movie is great--a well-done cartoon musical that looks like a musical--and St. P!! As an anti-Disney girl I didn't want them getting the credit.

(Sorry everyone--had to get that out.)

FWIW, I am planning on naming my daughter after my grandmother and calling her a nickname that ends in "A" to make things easy here. I'll use her given name--or her "sweet name" (love that it's called that...) as her middle name.

What I've realized every time I read both sides of this debate is that whatever the reasoning, there is *reasoning* behind this personal decision. I think the fact that adopted children are lovingly named is the best outcome of all.
