For any of you that grew up with a name that was a little less than popular in your home country, maybe you'll understand another reason why I love France:
Oh my goodness, you have found your name heaven ! ha ha! I don't know that there's a country out there where I'll find "Kerrin" emblazoned on anything at all. Oh well. I can find "kugelhopf" on plenty where you were though ! :)
My mom once had a mug specially made for me with my name on it because I always felt bad that my sister Melanie had them and I didn't. It was a good present. :)
I know. It's a confusing name in more ways than one. Americans can't say it. People here assume I speak French. And even French people have asked me how to say it the "American" way.

I love that too- for my kids at least. Both of their names are easy to find in Europe. Still can't find Meghan. :-(
The problem is, because it's so rare to find my name anywhere except France, I'm a real sucker for the souvenirs there...

I sympathize: it's impossible to find the proper spelling of my name in America, but it's practically plastered all over France...
Glad to hear some of you can relate to the name problem.
When I came across you blog I thought: what? Her name's Chantal and she's American? How is this possible?
Chantal is quite common in the French part of Switzerland too ;-)
