That's just bad. I am calling my daughter Avalon. I feel really bad about it being weird, so It'll be Avalon on the birth certificate and Ava to anyone who asked (including school enrollment forms). My first name is Shannon and all through high school every teacher thought I was a boy until I actually answered roll call. Now I finally know more girl Shannons than boy Shannons, but it's a short stretch. I am keeping my last name forever though. It's Gillespie, which was my grandad's name. My son has it for a last name and my daughter (due Dec) will too, so I figure if I ever get married he'll have to take my last name just to fit in. PS: Great Blog. Found you from iCing.

So romantic and feminine. I've never seen a double barreled surname without a dash before. Benson & Hedges is the worst...who would name their kids after cigarettes?! x Valentina is a fabulous name!

Before people have the chance to butcher my names spelling I just push out a "like Valentine except with an a at the end" People tend to think they're being clever by calling me Valentine on Feb 14th. Har har. Plus my mother (Ross) and my father (Mottley) combined they're last names for my surname RossMottley. So I'm not sure if I'd give up my surname but I have a hard time seeing RossMottley gelling well with other surnames. The thing that bothers me the most is that I write RossMottley but people insist on re-writing it Ross-Mottley. But I also love my unique name despite all the things mentioned above. I like your name ;) But seriously how could <i>anyone</i> name their child Sex and Fruit or Yeah Detroit?
