"i" beg your pardon!

There has been some recent controversy on the spelling of my new baby sister's name. It is Francis with an "i." We are all well aware that this is the masculine spelling of the name. She is named after her Dad and her Grandad. There were several people that even went as far as telling us we could NOT spell it this way. However, we are quite the unconventional family and we intend on keeping her name spelled the same way as the person she was named after.

You tell 'em Amy! People told my parents the same things, "It's too masculine." "Why is there an 'E' on the end?" I love my name, and wouldnt change it for the world. And neither will Francis ;)

People need to mind their own business!!!!!! My middle name, Susanne, is not spelled the conventional way either. You go, Francis Byrne, you go!
