Genie's Mailbag
Kay in New York
My husband and I are expecting our first baby boy, but we have a huge dilemma; our surname is an absolute disaster-- Szczelaszczyk {seh-lass-check}. I am head over heels in love with Ezra, he is too but he also thinks it'll be one "z" too many. What do you think, Oh Wise One?
Baby Name Genie:
Ezra Szczelaszczyk is not one "z" too many. It's approximately four z's too many. But when life gives you lemons, make lemon cakes. Ezra is a perfect first name for your son.
Haley in Missouri
I am having a baby girl. A family tradition says a second born child must have the same initials as their mother or father depending on the gender. The initials are HN. The surname is McKellan. My name is Haley--so, no suggestions with that name please.
Baby Name Genie:
Your family has some oddly specific traditions. What's Christmas like at your house? A joyful time of parliamentary procedures and formulaic regimen? To satisfy tradition, name your child Hadassa Nicole McKellan.
Kaitlyn Grace in New Zealand
I need a strong, girl's name to go with the surname "Lockwood." I am interested in finding a name and altering the spelling slightly to make it more unusual. Can you give me some names please?
Baby Name Genie:
Some names? How many children are you having? I only offer the perfect name for each child. Your daughter will enjoy the strong, though slightly unusual, Krysta Rose Lockwood for her name.
