Name your tune!

When I was a kid, I loved to have things with my name on them. Pencils or bookmarks or wall hangings - I couldn't get enough. My favorite was a set of books my cousin bought me for a birthday present - the publisher had come up with a great idea - tell a story, and insert the name of the individual kid into the story. The main character in my copies shared my name, my town, my age. I loved them, and I've kept them to this day!

While I didn't have an unusual name, most Catherine's went by Cathy, or spelled their name with a "K." It was the rare item that was marketed to "Catherine." So when it came time to name my son, I kept this in mind. Ironically, the name we settled on is much less common than mine was.

Which is why I'm so excited about Name Your Tune. Now, you don't have to rely on what's popular - you can have items custom made with your child's name. You can purchase a CD full of favorite children's songs, specifically with your child's name inserted! Instead of McDonald having a farm, its your child. There are fourteen fun songs on my cd, and the best part is seeing my son raise his head curiously when he hears his name being called out from the speakers.

If you'd like to buy one yourself, or get more information, here's where to go!

What a great idea! And let me tell you 20 - 30 years ago there were hardly any Briana's, now it tends to be more popular but hardly ever spelled the "right" way :)

And speaking of those books.. with your name, hometown, maybe a few friends or family names, etc... my dad makes them. They are great gifts!

Awesome.

I think I may order one for myself. I missed out on all that glorious fun when I was a kid.

Who names their daughter Bryany, anyway? Well my mom does.

Thanks for stopping by my site! :D
