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:

Only time will tell whether having an actual name replaces calling her “El Ju”.

I attended the York Brights meetup on Wednesday. You’ll never guess what we talked about.

Oh my god, why, why can’t the debate just stop. It’s endless. It doesn’t matter what we call ourselves. Of course it actually does matter but it’s not the most important thing in the world, we have far bigger problems as a movement.

The seperation does fall into the category of a major problem but it would cease to be one if we could just all work out it doesn’t really matter that much what we call ourselves as long as we’re pushing the same agenda.

Can we please, please, stop talking about the name.
