I guess i DO say kara-LEE when they are together. It sounds much better, doesn't it?
Charlotte Monet is very pretty. And so is
Monet Simone. I'll mention to them to DH.
Our mother's names are
Carolyn and Lesa (like
Lisa)-- not easy names to combine, and not names we really wanted to use individually. The best we could come up with was Caralee. There is a history in both my family and my husband's family of naming babies after family members, so we want to honor that tradition but not be obligated to use names we don't really care for. Still working out the kinks.
