This is Nowhere Near as Good a My Story

Saw this story online today about a mom who decided she didn't like the name she gave her daughter.

Excerpts from the story:

When my daughter was about three days old I decided I hated the name and cried about it to anyone who would listen. The name in question: Nora.  We loved  the name and all was well until two days after her birth when I saw it in print: The name looked so weird.  It sounded off, too old-lady, unfeminine.  I honestly felt like I'd made a terrible mistake, but one I couldn't remedy. Or could I? I sound like a crazy person, right?  

My story about Aryeh's name is much better!
