Name Help: A Brother for Phoebe Danielle

He’s here! An update from Kalie: We absolutely loved the suggestion of Hugo, but it wasn’t a great match with our last name when we said it out loud. Calvin, Jonah, and Malcolm were three front runners, but they all were kind of like Emmett. We liked them, but they just didn’t feel like the […]

Name Help: A Sister for Max, Henry, and Abel

Update from Jaime: Thanks for all of the suggestions! She was almost Vera, because we love the meaning. I liked Sylvie, too, but my husband said no. And then he read the comment about Ivy being IV. Not only is she our fourth child, but she was born on January 4th. At first I thought […]
