It is so wonderful to be able to watch family grow up into beautiful adults.<BR/><BR/>My name was going to be Michelle and then the week before my birth, a missionary speaker came to church and talked about his daughter "Carolanne". Dad and mum liked the name so chose it for me. :)Carolannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948899343901608273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-71580839772972392752007-02-10T01:21:00.000-08:002007-02-10T01:21:00.000-08:00That is so very special~Ya my husband has two midd...That is so very special~Ya my husband has two middle names, his Mom's Dad's and his Dad's Dad's names...my mom combined my her Dad's last name, her Mom's name and her Grandma's name into my one word that is my second name...I'm not sure if it holds any significance though...but it is neat to be reminded of them.Yokoosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998546979160857853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-10868553195471713272007-02-09T22:31:00.000-08:002007-02-09T22:31:00.000-08:00I wasn't named after anyone..

And I agree with ...What a wonderful looking bunch! And I agree with Jill, the brides dress is a classic - almost like a Jackie Kennedy/Onasis style. (sorry, south of the border, if there are spelling errors in the names!)<BR/><BR/>Names, hmm, as both my parents were teachers, it was hard to come by a name with out some student association. I didn't understand at the time why there were no other Becky's. No bike license plates, no pencils, no toothbrushes nor lunch kits with my name on them could ever be found. Now, I rather like the uniqueness of my name (also it hit popularity about 20 years ago). Also, with so many aunts, uncles, and relatives, it would be hard to choose only one or two and not include others. My parents decided that I was special, and gave me a name all to my own. Over the years, I have learned to appreciate that.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142983218710555646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-43003394058690308402007-02-09T20:44:00.000-08:002007-02-09T20:44:00.000-08:00Poof...yes like a vapor...we must learn how to let...Poof...yes like a vapor...we must learn how to let go and enjoy the "seasons" of life...The Creator knew!!savvycityfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123857662106999560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-28281600440184941372007-02-09T17:34:00.000-08:002007-02-09T17:34:00.000-08:00Our youngest daughter, Avery, shares a middle name...Our youngest daughter, Avery, shares a middle name with my mom, Frances. At my grandmothers funeral, Avery was 6 mo old and I was in the corner nursing her, and one of my my mom's aunts asked what the babys name was. When I told her, she said ALL 4 of my moms aunts middle names was Frances! How cool is that??

I told my kids that today was my birthday, their eyes rolled and they said "We know mom you have told us a million times, now can we have a snack??" Oh well, that's the life of a mom I guess. I named all 3 kids after special people in our lives. A friend who passed away, both grandpa's, and Aaron's cousin. I think it is really special to be named after someone. I'm so glad that I was!<BR/>ChrissieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-68852259668098815722007-02-09T14:09:00.000-08:002007-02-09T14:09:00.000-08:00Happy Birthday Cuz!!You are definitely a beautiful...Happy Birthday Cuz!!<BR/>You are definitely a beautiful person in my eyes. I hope your day is full of blessings! Love you! <BR/><BR/>Lovella,<BR/>My mother named me after her sister. And I never go by that name. Only a select few actually know it because I am a little embarassed to use it. Although I don't use it I am still honored because I love my Aunt dearly. I can't bring myself to share it on the web but if you call me I will tell you!! Maybe I already have. <BR/>Till next time!!<BR/>LoriDwain and Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112850899134561000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-2949164784440165082007-02-09T10:27:00.000-08:002007-02-09T10:27:00.000-08:00What beautiful nieces and nephews you have! And I...What beautiful nieces and nephews you have! And I admire the bride's gown. Classic lovely styling.<BR/>My middle name is Ann, after my mom's mother's mother. Except that my great grandmother was Anna. My mom thought in 1954 that that was just too old-fashioned to use that name "as is". So she shortened it to Ann. Wah! I'd wished she had used the old-fashion spelling.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.com
