@ Ava - That sounds a lot like how my parents were, except they were a little more thoughtful about it. When I asked them why they didn't name me anything else, they would just give me a look and that would be the end of that conversation. I was looking through a name book that was in my mom's room the other day, and I saw my name being spelled a different way (it was spelled Noshin in the book) That spelling was pretty ugly though, so I'm glad they spelled it nicer
