The Child formerly known as Elly....

....Has informed us that she now wishes to be called Rosalina. Pretty, no? Exotic anyway. Tonight whilst we were in the throws of one of our mad Mario Kart marathons, I over heard her ask her Daddy, "will you ask Mommy if we can go to the place where you change names tomorrow and change my name to Rosalina?" I was thuroughly confused. Not that I don't understand wanting to have your name changed. Hello? Calista. 'nuff said. When I was little I remember telling my parents that as soon as I was able, I was changing my name to Heather. But at least I had a reason. I was tired of being called cholesterol. And that was when Cholesterol wasn't cool. Oh, and in the fifth grade I got to hear Calisterine, every day of the school year. So we have a good understanding of my desire to change my name, but Elly? I think that is cute. And it so fits her. I'm sorry, she just doesn't look like a Rosalina to me.
Guess I'll humor her for now and hope it wears off soon. Maybe I'll join in the game, you all can call me Svetlania........
