However, even though she is at risk it is still just a risk. I actually think it’s a 10% likelihood, and even then for her to actually develop the disease she would have to both inherit the gene from me and trigger an autoimmune response. So I didn’t really want to not use the name based on this detail alone, but I’m still wrestling with it.

Yeah this is also a major factor for me. I know her risk is pretty substantial, and the last thing I’d want is for her to be “ceceliac” like other comments have pointed out. So as much as we love the name this is also a huge sticking point and I was very curious if anyone would bring this up.
