The Name Game

We just went through the process of choosing a name for our little one, Anna.  Our other two children have names from the Bible and we appreciate the character of Anna in the Bible, so we stuck with this theme for our newest addition.  Unlike in the states where many have a name picked out months ahead, in Ecuador people often don't name their child until several days have the birth.  Some say it's bad luck; it may stem from the higher death rate babies had here before good health care.  Dan delivered a baby boy the other day, and the parents hadn't yet chosen a name.  They must have been pretty impressed with him as a doc since they decided to name their son Benedick.  I think the name is great :) but hopefully he'll have a little more luck with having others spell it correctly.  The 'ck' at the end instead of a 't' seems to throw almost everyone off on our last name.
