Poll: To change or not to change?

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey Neighbours,
How do you feel about your name?
Do you like it?
Do you hate it?
Do you want to change it?

One woman had her younger years tainted by the fact that she shared her name with five others in her class, so she changed it as soon as possible.

Now her daughter Esmee is about to start full-time education but will be sharing her name with two others in her class.

Horrified by this the mother posted to an anonymous parenting site if it would be unreasonable to change her daughter's name.

What do you think?
Has anyone in Franklin had a similar name situation?
What did you do about it?

Please put NFP if you don't want your comment printed.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
