I think I may even have announced to family that "Marilyn" or any of its creative derivatives, was off limits. However, after my mother died, my thougts changed a little. I liked the idea of naming her after myself and her grandmother, but for some reason it didn't sit right. Eventually I realized that I wanted to keep that special bond between my mother and I just for the two of us. So, when I got pregnant and we started tossing around names, we stumbled on Leah (who's godfather's name is Lee)we both fell in love. When Ryan suggested Rose for the middle name, the universe agreed and I was content since roses were my mother's favorite flower...Leah got to be an idividual and I got to honor my mother, too. I've always liked the name and it has always seemed to suit her...although I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if she changes it herself someday...that would be a very "Leah-ey" thing to do!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228772289039328569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24166676.post-49770631478252436822010-07-11T15:10:43.983-04:002010-07-11T15:10:43.983-04:00My newborn - Charlie, aka Jonathan Charles - is 4 ...My newborn - Charlie, aka Jonathan Charles - is 4 days old. Sometimes I look at him and think, "Should we be calling him Jonathan?" or "Max", the other name that was on the shortlist. It is confusing. Right now, I just look at him and feel like I'm holding my older son, Liam. And yeah, sometimes I just feel c-razy! <br /><br />TinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
