  2. Despite the negative connotations in mythology, I think Siren would have been a very sweet (if a little out there) way to honor dad’s firefighting. Can’t say I love the y-spelling, but hey!

  4. Syren? They could’ve at least done us a favor and spelled the word correctly, Siren. I should talk, I love the name Ondine, so I guess Siren shouldn’t be any different. I do prefer the Greek Sirena though. I think its a bit more wearable.
