    Nana is my aunt's nickname!!

    I wanted Isadora for our daughter! It was a no-go with my husband. (We settled on Louisa.)

    Kirin is a beer. Interesting choice of spelling. Why not Kieran?

    [in addition to the mythological Chinese kirin on the beer label, it's also Japanese for 'giraffe.' Maybe they're going with the full-on Japanese pronounciation: key-reen, who knows? -ed.]
