What's in a name? It used to be that every name had a meaning. I mean, there are hundreds of websites about baby names and meanings... yet, we're at a point where it's cooler to mix mom and dad's name together. We take friends names away and add a D'.
I love the bible because they named children either what the mom/dad was going through or what they wanted that child to aspire to. Some names I really felt bad for like mara (poor bitter girl), but other names rocked like Joshua/ Jesus (God is salvation)...
So when it came time to Quatro you can see the pressure on me.
When we got married, it was known from day one that we would have a boy and his name would be John White Campbell IV. Yet, we have no boy... girls names have eluded us for 8 years now...
after dozens of those 10,000 name books, and family history books, and suggestion upon suggestion... we've had 3 and about 4 beautiful girls with names i'm proud of
Ella Veryl (she's on fire for the truth)
Zoe Elise (new life, God will be her oath)
Ada Joi (The peaceful child, full of delight)
and now my beautiful girl
Nyla Ruth ( Warrior/ champion, Friend and companion) I'm hoping she'll fight for the oppressed because that's really what we need right now. So, it's no longer a secret... sweet nyla has 10 weeks til we see her. Maybe I can duct tape her in; as of right now, she's trying to explode her way out.
I totally wanted to put a picture with this, but she's a fighter... through and through. I've had 5 ultrasounds and not one picture of her face.
NYLA RUTH!! Beautiful. Can't wait to meet her :)
