Viviana, My suggestion was aimed mainly at those who have not written here yet. However, if this is going to start the ball rolling, here is the reason we named our baby ELORA DAWN LOBO My wife and I decided to give our girl names that would: 1) Rhyme with the surname Lobo. 2) Give meaning to the surname (wolf.) 3) Be easy to holler, when calling her in for dinner. Her middle name, Dawn, was an easy choice. My name is difficult for Tanzanians to pronounce and most of them butcher it. Thus I tell them, �Call me anything you want, but don�t call me early in the morning.� Keeping this in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to name the baby early in the morning :-) Arriving at the first name was more of a challenge. We looked up all, and I mean all, the names in English, Swahili, Konkani, French and Spanish and we could not agree on a name. Desperate, we consulted Cecil Pinto�s �name da baby service.� While Cecil came up with a few good idea�s, he was unaware of the ex list of names that where not permissible. We were coming down to the wire when the name Elora was suggested. Elora Gorge is a scenic/fishing/camping spot close to Toronto. The entire gorge is a peaceful quite place, with mist rolling thru it in the morning. This is where I took my wife fishing on our first date in Canada. This is also the place, I am now told, that she decided to reel me in......
