DEAR ABBY: Help! We named our daughter after both of her grandmothers. The first name is after her paternal grandmother and the middle name after her maternal grandmother. On her birth certificate, I spelled the middle name differently because I thought it looked better.
Now my mother says her granddaughter is not named after her because the spelling is different. I say, so what? She is named after both grandmothers. What do you say? -- NEEDS YOUR OPINION IN N.C.
DEAR NEEDS: I agree with you -- so what? Your daughter is named after both grandmothers regardless of how the name is spelled.
