What's In a Name?

In our family, what's in a name is 7 letters. We just discovered that when deciding on baby names. Douglas, Allison and Natalie all have seven letters!

So our baby girl needed a seven letter name, and we came up with an oldie, but goodie -- Abigail. We will name her Abigail Mae WenLian White. WenLian comes from her Chinese name.

Abigail is a name we have always liked. And Gail is my mother's middle name, and she has been so good to Natalie. Doug has always liked the name Mae. It was his grandmother's name. Also we anticipate that we will bring Abigail home in the month of May. There is a Chinese spelling for her middle name Mei, but we decided not to use it since we have already incorporated her actual Chinese name.

Hope you are doing well Abigail Mae -- Abbimae, for short.
