Come on in!

Giving a name to someone, or something, can be a difficult process.   Of course names are important.  Once given it is hard to change.  Names tend to define.  I have had the joy of naming seven children.  I bought a few books of names as I began the journey of bearing children.  My husband and I would discuss different names, meanings, etc., but honestly, most of our children’s names were chosen simply because we liked the sound of the name.  Once the child was born, I would say their name over and over as I cared for them.  As each day passed, their name became more defining and representative of them.  It would now be most difficult to call them by any other name. Their name is part of who they are.
