whew...I had it right.
I mean, I only know x amount of ways to
pronounce your name! lol
I was like...oh no...la-rah...that's
horrible!! lmao!!!
Lo-ren is a beautiful name...but I *know*
it would be pronounced, loren. So I don't
think I'd even go there.
Unless, it's a second name. And the 1st
name *can't* be sofia now can it! lol..
Kayoni .loren!! Ha!!

.loren is pronounced like lore-en,
emphasis on the first syllable. Lauren is
pronounced Lar-in, again emphasis on the
first syllable.

.Laura looks better than .Lora. Lora is
remniscent of .Lorna, like the cookie,
.Lorna .Doones.

it must depend on where you live. i would
pronounce lauren and loren the same-
lore-en. i can't think of anyone famous to
compare it too except the girl on 'the
hills'.
just like cera and sarah, i'd say those
the same too. like triceratops.
laura and lara are different though.
lore-uh and lahr-uh. lara flynn boyle,
lara croft...
this is all so confusing to me.

I would pronounce .Sarah as sare-a,
not cera. I wonder if that's a .U.K/U.S
thing? I've noticed that .Americans
pronounce the name .Mary as 'marry'
whereas in the .U.K it's 'mare-ee'.

i think you should just keep her name the
same sarah and call her .oni. my name is
rebecca but i am .n.e.v.e.r called it-
it's always becky but it's nice to know i
have a formal name as well as the
shortened version.
oki and oni doesn't really do it for me. i
like names beginning with the same letter
(hence layla and logan) but oki reminds me
too much of ok.. 
i dunno sarah it's up to you at the end of
the day. she's you babba

Yea, so I've been thinking. And I think
I'm going
to........................................
..........................................
... CHange it.
I just, I don't know. I prob won't change
it because it took me 9 months to get her
birth certificate, and it would suck to
have to wait to get another one. Plus I'd
have to go through all the paper work @
her Dr.s office, medicaid, etc.
I'll never call her .kayoni. ANd I guess
I'll have to stick with .kasia if I Have
another girl. (I like the same letter
thing too!They will both be .k.j.s!)
But if we have another girl (3 girls, I'd
die) then it will def be
.keoki! Period.

I LOVE KASIA! THAT'S SO PRETTY. THAT WOULD
SUCK HAVING TO GO THROUGH ALL THE
FORMALITIES AGAIN.
ALSO IF YOU DON'T CHANGE IT IT MEANS SHE
WILL HAVE TWO NAMES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
AND SHE CAN CHOOSE WHICH ONE SHE LIKES
BETTER WHEN SHE'S OLDER.
