Actually, 30’s and 40’s is the perfect age bracket. You see, the name is not for a baby. My parents named me before they ever thought of living in the US. I therefore ended up with a name that’s difficult to pronounce in English, let alone spell. It doesn’t lend itself to nicknames in English either. The closest would be pronounced “Yannie” and I loathe it! [name]Yan[/name]'s bad too. Reminds me of that old show, “[name]Yan[/name] Can Cook”. However, my name sounds somewhat like “[name]Janine[/name]” so I’m weighing whether I should do what I should’ve done decades ago – change it or at least use [name]Janine[/name] as a nickname. The drawback to the nickname option is that [name]Janine[/name] is a full name, not a nickname. It’s rather like saying, “[name]Hi[/name], my name is [name]Mikhail[/name] but please call me [name]Michael[/name].” In that case, I should just go ahead and change it. [name]Janie[/name] is another nickname possibility but it doesn’t age well and it doesn’t go with my married name at all, which sounds like Confetti. So, I’m still weighing my options.
