Our last name is Italian, begins with an M and ends with an I. The nicknames would be used occasionally, so both children would go by their full names most of the time. [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] and [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] are also family names, and won’t change.
I like [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] and [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] together! I agree with everyone else about the [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] spelling, so beautiful!
