Even though I don't usually have trouble finding personalized items with the names of my children on them, I love that with Heritage Makers, I can do so much more. LOL...I have to laugh because one thing they will always know is their name. It's everywhere and it's meaning and why I choose it especially for them. I have created wall canvas', posters and the like to hang up in our home. They have their own travel mugs...a little overboard? Perhaps, but what can I say? I'm a proud mommy!Yolanda Ray~The Memory Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432837064826709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513610361609841688.post-72138955129447249292010-04-04T11:48:01.204-04:002010-04-04T11:48:01.204-04:00I can definitely relate to this post.

Sometimes I think they would mispronounce it intentionally. I think you are right about "maturity brings clarity." There are so many other things wrong in life, how could I had stressed so much about a name that makes me feel special now. By the way, I made sure my children had basic names too - Corey & Tyler. Believe it or not, I still can't always find both of their names when I am looking for name plates, mugs, key chains, etc.Chandra Riversnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513610361609841688.post-9782468961891290582010-03-16T22:09:01.256-04:002010-03-16T22:09:01.256-04:00Hope, Thanks for your post.

I wonder what my kids will think of their names? Interestingly enough, they have what I would call regular names. They were deliberately chosen based on their meanings and it's just a coincidence that their names can be found on monogrammed bags, zippers pulls and key chains. ;-)Yolanda Ray~The Memory Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432837064826709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513610361609841688.post-48784440328235016502010-03-15T20:55:21.876-04:002010-03-15T20:55:21.876-04:00I loved this post Yolanda.

My parent's deliberately chose it for me but as a child I didn't like it...they made fun of my name, everyone thought I must be a hippie (a thought that for some reason was insulting to me). it took maturity for me to respect and even embrace my name and now I'm proud of it. It is a vibrant part of who we are.hopeEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690773169640824232noreply@blogger.com
