(the picture is so you don't forget my name is spelled with a K)
Wow! ICE? That is something I hadn't heard before. I thought it was pretty cool! Now I have the whole fire and ice thing going on! (wink wink nudge nudge) You can also start calling me Krystallos if you so desire. (this name was also at it's peak popularity in the 80's) I also decided to look up Natalie, because that is the name that Matt is bent on naming our first daughter (consider this my 'dibs', no Carters better steal it! All others are free to choose that name, unless you plan on living in the CHD)
Anyways... here is what it said:
NATALIE
Gender: Feminine
Usage: French, English, German
Pronounced: nat-a-LEE (French), NAD-ə-lee (English), NAH-tah-lee (German) [key]
From the Late Latin name Natalia, which meant "Christmas Day" from Latin natale domini. This was the name of the wife of the 4th-century martyr Saint Adrian of Nicomedia. She is venerated as a saint in the Orthodox Church, and the name has traditionally been more common among Eastern Christians than those in the West. It was popularized in America by actress Natalie Wood (1938-1981), who was born to Russian immigrants.

I thought that was cool! And so typical that Matt would like a french name. Anyways... go look up your name if you don't know it! Or your future childrens, make sure the mean school kids won't have any more reason to mock them.

See I knew I saw fire in those eyes!
Yes, we now know where the fire comes from...and the ice. I am sure after you are in China, you'll probably name your child Ling Chu Ru or something like that.
