Evolution of a Name

It has been interesting to see how Dominic pronounces Amara's name. When it was just learning to speak, it was "Rah-Rah." That didn't last too long, and soon became "Ah-yah." It has been "Ah-yah" really for most of his speaking life.

This past weekend, apparently Amara got fed up. She told him emphatically, "I'm NOT Ah-yah, I'm Amara!"

She's now "Mara" according to Dominic.

Now if she'd just figure out he's Dominic, not Dommick.

That's ok. Alex is 5 and calls Ben, Benjermin instead of Benjamin.
