the name game

after many, many, many weeks of thinking, discussing and debating names for our baby girl, we are pleased to announce we made a decision saturday night with the help of 4 very important people : ) i know there are more important things to be doing than picking out a name but there is HUGE relief that has taken place now that we have a name set!

Our daughter-to-be name is officially: Jadeyn Rose Quinn

We chose this for a number of small reasons and 1 big reason.

1. Main reason: we just really like it.

2. Her initals are now the same as her daddy's.

3. Jadeyn (in hebrew) means Jehovah has heard.

4. Rose is named after my grandma (dad's mom).

5. We like having the option of nicknaming her Jade.

6. It's different.

7. If she ever has a brother, his name will be Josiah, so we liked having both names start with a "J".

I mentioned we had help picking out the name. For memory sake, here's the story: Jimmy and I were down to 2 names - Jadeyn and Kaedyn. We liked both names equally. We decided we would let each of our parents give us their preference and the majority wins. We had 3 votes for Jadeyn and 1 for Kaedyn - although the odd man out said both were great names and didn't really mind either way! So the official name was founded on my birthday, February 7, 2009 right about 7pm. And Jimmy came up with the spelling.
