Cassie Stewart said...

SO HAPPY SHE IS HERE AND SAFE AND SOUND AND THAT IT WAS A GOOD DELIVERY FOR YOU AS WELL. I THOUGHT I MADE A SUGGESTION TO YOU ABOUT A MIDDLE NAME, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT IN MY SENT MESSAGES SO I WILL SAY AGAIN THAT I THHINK IT SHOULD BE ELAINE AFTER GRANDMA GAUNT. IT GOES WELL AND IT SHOULD PLEASE HER, BESIDES SHE NEVER USES IT, OR SHOULD I SAY NONE OF HER FAMILY USES IT. I HAVE ONLY HEARD EG. LOVE GRANDMA

We're still trying on the tentative middle name we have come up with. Funny how this name has to be just right for us. Maren and Ethan were just names we liked and could agree on. Neva's name is more complicated.

Slades sisters have the corner market on naming thier kids for family and they already have an Elaine in the mix.

We have about 7 weeks to decide definitively.

so, that doesn't matter as their last names are different and it will probably only be used on legal documents and never the two together.
