I really wanted to pick an Irish or American name and Adam was not on board with me on that at all! So we didn’t have the name for months! We created a list of my favourite and his favourite names but no one wanted to compromise.Then one day we heard the name Mia and we both liked it and were like- that’s the name!

The first time Tricia and Leon Zinkowski heard the name Zarek was long before they were ready to have children.
Clare's insight:
Zerek* Zinkowski is indeed a pretty groovy name. *They went with this spelling in the end

He started calling me ‘Geddy,’ and eventually, all of my friends started calling me ‘Geddy,’ and eventually my mother started to call me ‘Geddy,’ for real. And eventually, I changed my name legally to ‘Geddy,’
Clare's insight:
I LOVE that there's a consonant that can be interpreted as "r" or "d", or even "t", depending on which language you're coming from. Phonology is so cool :)

It was definitely very difficult! We both wanted names that would sound good in English (we do live in Canada) my hubby wanted names that sound good in French, and me in Polish. During my first pregnancy [with Lilianne], I have let my hubby win (I wanted Lilianna) but I decided it’s just one letter of a difference, so it’s ok. But then during my second pregnancy it was more difficult: he liked Rosalie and I loved Melania. In the end our middle ground turned out to be Mila-Rose.
