marion blythe

she will no longer be referred to as "baby girl," she has been been named...

marion blythe!

marion was taken from my maternal grandmother marion...

I began thinking about using marion a while ago and the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. marion means "wished-for child," which is very true. it sounds so fresh but classic to me and even ends with the "-n" sounds that's all the current rage in baby naming! ;)

I have had the most trouble choosing a middle name. I decided that one syllable would be preferable, since marion coupled with our last name is already a lot! I had a short list of options and took my time to really figure it out. I read that blythe meant "happy" - that was it, I knew it was perfect. a wish of happiness for her life... what could be better?

grace made this "m" at school and has been telling visitors to our home that "m is for marion."

I am so excited that baby has a name! let the ordering and monogramming begin! :)
