Swistle posted a letter the other day from a mom whose husband is Indian and a Syro-Malabar Catholic, or Syrian Catholic: Baby Boy or Girl Molly-ache-elle, Sibling to George (Gil). I’d known a little but not a lot about this Catholic community (which is in line with the Roman Catholic Church), and nothing at all about their naming traditions, until reading this post and some of the comments, especially this one, this one, and this one.

(I weighed in too — see my comments here.)
