The Name Game

Eric and I had a boy named picked out from before we were married. I never dreamed that we would have a girl, so when we found out that we were "having a little princess," the search for a girl name began. We looked on-line and in books. We made lists and discovered new things about each others taste. It was a process, and we walked into the hospital with out having picked a name yet. When she finally arrived, and we got to meet her, we decided on Alexis Ellouise Ward.

Alexis - Her first name came from Eric's list. I like it because it has a lot of great nick names. We both think it is a good strong name.

Ellouise - Her middle name is a family name. It is the middle name of both my mother and grandmother.
