GOH badge question?!

[kdtwiss]

OK - so it seems it would be really nice to get the "guest of honor" badges and since I have untill May I am hoping I will be able to . My question is this- I have two children whose names are not going to be easily picked up by cast members - for instance my oldest ds name is - Keannor, pronounced Connor and my little guy is MacCullum which reads just like it looks - but may take a bit to try to figure out. Do you think I should just go with CONNOR and MACK maybe? Or should I just put their names correctly? I don't want CMs to feel like they cannot say hello because they don't know what their names are?! TIA
It's our first trip - can U tell?

I'm not sure how old your boys are, but as an Early Childhood Teacher, I'd really recommend you spell the boys names correctly. It could really confuse them when they are learning to read and write them. I think "Mack" would be okay if you call him that, like a nick name, but I don't think I'd change the way to spell Keannor.

Just my opinion, not in anyway meant to be judgemental.

I agree...spell their names the way you should. Even if the CM can't pronounce the name, they may ask or make it a game and have fun with it. Besides, it's extra attention too...not just addressed by name!! Makes getting that ride upfront on the monorail a little easier!
