Names
We've decided on names for our soon to be born child (one month from today)...
Girl:
Anna Sophia Elizabeth--We'll most likely call her 'Sophie' and/or some variation of 'Anna Sophia'
'Anna' because it means grace. 'Sophia' because it means wisdom and 'Elizabeth' because it means consecrated to God. Thus, gracious wisdom consecrated to God. We want her name to serve as a lesson and reminder of the godly women who have impacted our lives; namely, that wisdom should be dispensed always with a measure of grace.
Boy:
Caleb Jackson--We'll most likely call him 'Jack'
'Caleb' because he was faithful to believe God's promises about the Land. And 'Jackson' because Kirsten is desperate to name a boy after C.S. Lewis (his nickname was 'Jack') but she won't let me use 'Clive' or 'Staples'. Thus, Jackson. We'll then have Joshua (Aiden) and Caleb, the two faithful spies who admonished Israel to trust Yahweh at his Word and take the land. We want the name to call him to faithfulness to God's promises and, in boldness, lead Yahweh's people in taking the land.
Girl:
Anna Sophia Elizabeth--We'll most likely call her 'Sophie' and/or some variation of 'Anna Sophia'
'Anna' because it means grace. 'Sophia' because it means wisdom and 'Elizabeth' because it means consecrated to God. Thus, gracious wisdom consecrated to God.

Excellent names, reflecting noble characteristics.
dude, it's all about Lemongello and or Orangello. they're hot this season...
or how about seven.
I like Ima and Youra
or maybe Blanket.
I really think you should ditch the Sophie thing and go for a real biblical name...
Dorcas...
That's a sweet one.
I tried to just use my name on my comment, but I wanted to take responsibility...
Wade
Leelee and Guck approve.
Nice choices.

First of all, Grandma, you are so sweet and beautiful for saying that!!
Hi Josh, this is Danae (Miguel's wife) ,...not sure if you even know Miguel..I'm assuming you do, he has your blog linked on his blog. Anyway, not sure how you guys met if indeed you did..but i just wanted to say congrats to you and your wife on the babe! May God's peace be w/ you all. Nice names. I like Sophia.
danae,
I don't believe we have officially met but we do have a mutual friend, and a close one at that--Riley. I have unofficially 'met' Miguel through his postings on Riley's site and his own blog. Thanks for coming by and for the kind words.
