I really, really, really want to name one of my kids Woonsocket. Only I will not. Because I am neither cruel nor inhumane. And because I'm unlikely to have kids anytime soon.

It would probably end up being Bar-tin - there's a little bit of a slide to the 'i', but it's fairly faint, and I'd probably end up going with the "tin" sound that everyone else would use.

Adoption is a good alternative for some people; sadly money was an issue for me, and I waited too long - I'm too old and out of shape now.

Good luck to you, hopefully you'll make it it work out!
