Baby Worfolk has a name
Thursday, October 27th, 2016 | Family & Parenting
Naming Elina Junior has been no easy task. We wanted to give her both a Finnish and an English name so that whichever country she decided to live in, she would have a name that sounded local. We also needed to make sure it was pronounceable across the language barrier. Finnish names used rolled Rs for example, which English people cannot usually do, whereas “C” is not really a letter in Finnish.
After much consideration we have settled upon:
Venla Rosasharn Worfolk
Only time will tell whether having an actual name replaces calling her “El Ju”.
