Happy St. Patricks Day! Here I am wearing green, which I know is not actually what they do in Ireland on this day but oh well. I am just happy to be part Irish! In fact, did you know that my name is actually Irish! (And Chinese and German, and Scandinavian – all of my heritages in one name.) My parents struggled with whether or not they should use the Irish spelling of my name, which is Aine. After polling a few people, my parents realized that no one outside of Ireland would be able to pronounce my name. So, they chose the Norwegian spelling of my name.
