Baby Ryani

So Jenny's neighbor was pregnant and Jenny solicited her neighbor to name the child after her. Jenny's middle name is Scott, so she felt well covered regardless of the sex.

I received a call one evening from Jenny asking me to guess what the baby was named. Not hearing any satisfaction in her voice, I begged into my phone, "Please not Ryan."

Baby Ryan or Ryani as most Bantu people will call him, (All Bantu syllables end with vowels), represents the completion of a milestone many Peace Corps Volunteers involuntarily achieve, having a child named after them.
