Just make up a name for everyone who asks her name so you can avoid the explanation and be on your way. One person asks, say "Oh, her name is Lily", next person, tell them "Her name is Bambi", etc. etc. These are names that don't need an explanation and you'll get the aww, cute and then you can move along... I get annoyed sometimes when I'm out walking Oscar and people want to stop and pet him and ask questions about him - sometimes I just want to WALK MY DOG in peace....
Haruka is a beautiful name - you shouldn't have to defend your choice. |
