Her Name!

After analyzing, evaluating, and studying naming trends :-) , we threw it all out the window and named her something that wasn't even on our list. Her name is...

Kaylee

We ended up with a more common name. I guess we just started looking at the negative aspects of having a different type of name. And especially a name that could frequently be mispronounced or misspelled. Naomi wanted to make sure our daughter didn't spend the rest of her life always correcting people when they said or spelled her name. I finally understood and agreed.

It sure feels good to finally have a name for her.

Hi Mark, I've been reading through your blog the past couple of weeks and it has been so fun! My hubby and I decided to adopt just a couple of weeks ago. We are just about to begin this whole process! Thanks for sharing all of your thoughts and feelings. It's been really neat! Congratulations to you and Naomi. Your daughter is beautiful! Have fun in China!

Hi, my oldest daughter's name is Kaylee. I was doing a search on the web for more information on Kaylee today and found your site! What a beautiful baby! My husband and I have talked and dreamed about adopting a little girl from China! That is so neat and thanks for sharing your experience with us. I also wanted to share something with you that you may or may not already know. Kaylee if you take the meanings broken down is really neat. Kay- rejoice, Lee- Sheltered from the storm... I am sure there are more meanings, but wow! I thought you might enjoy that...
Blessings,
Shirley
