I had a friend who got really funny looks because her middle name was Sami. <BR/><BR/>But, of course your daughter's middle name is David... Too funny.MommaBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452302193049028569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26662000.post-19332676981984955382007-08-13T09:07:00.000-07:002007-08-13T09:07:00.000-07:00My kid's names on their school records are all inc...My kid's names on their school records are all incorrect. My daughter's middle name is Elizabeth. According to the school, it's David. <BR/><BR/>It's not hard for us foreigners to wrap our minds around the traditional Arab nomenclature. Why is it so hard for them to understand (and accept) that we do it differently?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741697427725588177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26662000.post-26428630986360988662007-08-13T05:58:00.000-07:002007-08-13T05:58:00.000-07:00There is that, for sure.

In case of an accident, or whatever, our relations would never be found!! Tjoladieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028048309489143778noreply@blogger.com
