baby names

so there is finally a baby named Michelle in Vanuatu! I had heard that often the mommas here will name their babies after the midwife who catches their baby and i was beginning to get a complex...

So far Olivia and i were given the opportunity to name a baby boy who died a few days later (a long and sad tale for another time) and one of the baby boys i caught was named Francisco after San Francisco but alas no Michelle... Finally last week a lovely momma from Nguna named her baby girl after me. Of course Michelle will only be one of her names as folks here have many names.
