Thank you. I'm so glad you like those names. As for choosing Wivina for my daughter, I want her initials to be EW in honor of my late brother. I don't like any well-known W names for girls, though, so I've been scouring every name reference I could get my hands on. I found Wivina by sheer luck. The French form, Wivine, has some use in Francophone
Africa, but I couldn't find a single living person called Wivina, which is part of the appeal. I feel like naming my kids is giving them a prologue to a story to help them write their own chapter. I have some unfortunate associations with my own name, so I want my kids to have names that are "only" theirs while still being grounded, if that makes sense. I love that you and
Leni both like unique names.
