The hubs and I have always known that naming our children would be important. We both have a strong sense of family ties and wanting to carry on family traditions. It might just be a southern thing, but we love to carry on and honor namesakes. So when it came time to choose a name for our little girl, we didn't hesitate. We knew what we would be naming her. Johanna Mary, or Jo for short. Johanna honors my great-grandmother on my father's side, though she spelled her name slightly different. Mary honors about six people on both my husband's and my side, including my mother-in-law. The nickname Jo honors my maternal grandfather and his father.
I personally just love the name. It sounds good when said aloud and it just feels right in my heart.
I absolutely LOVE her name and the meaning of it. Both of my babies are named after family members and I love that we honor them in that way. Congrats on be able to pick a name so quickly, that was easy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful name! I absolutely agree, a name should be important and have a special meaning. IF you're interested, here's our story about naming baby Judah :) http://www.shaunwissmann.com/2012/06/12/and-his-name-shall-be-called/
