Finally coming up with a name for the baby!
My goodness gracious if anyone would have told me that it would have taken a week to name the babe I would have told them they were up in the night. Especially with me being so turbo about the "name" thing. I've had names picked out, years in advance, for children not even born yet. I doodle or write names out repeatedly making sure they look good on paper and flow with my other kids names. Jaren thinks I'm nuts when I do that and I guess I kinda am but I take the name thing very seriously. So one may ask, why such the trouble this time coming up with the name? Unfortunately, for me, the girl's names I liked this pregnancy were not ones that my hubby necessarily cared for. And I guess I didn't realize how much he didn't care for them until after the baby was born. So...you take that, as well as four older children who all have opinions and different tastes, and a "rule" that the middle name has to have family significance and you are up a creek. Especially, when in our opinion, you only have one descent family name on the genealogy charts that you would even think of using. And that was my grandmother's name Lyllian. So needless to say its been complicated and we have been conflicted. But I am happy to report that as of last night after a week of much much thought, deliberation and a heartfelt plea we have decided on the baby's name. And its official, as daddy called the Birth Certificate lady at the hospital just this morning!
Her name......drum roll please... is Kate Angelene...I' m not going to go into all the particulars as to why we chose this name because there are a few, and it would take forever to explain, but I will say we like the name Kate mainly for its classic, simple and timeless beauty and the name Angelene is after me (of course) and my mom Ar"lene". Besides all that, IL Divo has a song named Angelina that is divine. So there you have it....we've succeeded in coming up with a name and as my sister stated this morning.."it took awhile but you got it perfect!" We are all excited we can start calling her baby KATE.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful name. I am so happy you had another little girl. You make beautiful girls. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck! I leave the bloggin world for a moment and people are havin kids! Ang - she is BEAUTIFUL! How did you get such a good (sidebar) picture of her at only a week old? She truly is gorgeous! And I love her name! Perfect! We ahve that middle name "rule" too! All our family names aren't the best either...Verna, Leona, Roberta, etc. For Korynn, we thought we'd put all the 1st letters together to 'create' a name...we had ..."vagina"! hahaha So we came up with Alyce from Kevin's Gandmother. I need your email again as my Outlook died & we are using webbased email right now! Congratulations honey! 5 - and you're still lookin good!
ReplyDeleteI just love the name! Jane was very nearly a Cate Hadley or Hadley Cate. Just read your newer post about your recovery - I hope you can hang in there. It can be difficult, I know.
