Middle names, revisited

We did it! We finally agreed on a middle name for each of our daughters! This is not an easy task with 2 adults and 3 teenagers tossing ideas around!

John and I agreed on names and made it official....then we told Faven and Diborah. We were a bit nervous about this because, if you recall from a previous post, Faven was set on Beyonce for her and Rihanna for Diborah. We did not choose these names. However, when we told Faven and Diborah their new names, they both smiled and LOVED them!
So, now, I introduce to you....








Faven Faith and Diborah Noelle Simmons!!!






After we told Faven her name, she repeated it several times. Then, Nathan started teasing her and calling her Fay Fay. Now Faven will say..."Faven Faith....Fay Fay". She is so proud of her new name!

We gave Diborah the middle name Noelle because her 'gotcha day' was just 4 days before our Christmas day. She also loves her new name, but has a hard time pronouncing it!


There is only one problem...now Emma wants to change her name! We told her that her middle name is her grandma's middle name. Her solution: change grandma's middle name too!

I LOVE the middle names. Finding names is so hard, but you did a great job! I have cousins (they are sisters) and their names are Faith and Noel. They are meant to be together I quess:0) Your children (all of them) are beautiful!

I love their names. I also laughed out loud when I read Emma's comment. I think that she sounds like a problem solver.
