so cute, my niece is named Ella Rose!
Andi, I like your choice in names. So, you have an Asa too. When my grandfather was named, his parents opened the Bible to a random page, and the first male name they came to was his name. Asa. I love it. He has a grandson, and a great grandson named after him.
I really love classic names. They're so graceful. You can tell when you hear them, whether they are boys or girls. I don't know why that's so important to me, but I like gender specific names, and names that only have one predictable spelling. I just really don't like names where it's anyone's guess whether they are male or female, and how may capitalized or lower case letters, or y's and ae's there are.
Mom's side:
Virgil and Evelyn Fern, step-grandpa is Ralph Edward
Dad's side:
Roy Stoll (back when they used Grandma's maiden name for middle name) and Eleanor, step-grandparents were Justin (female) and Bill
My dh's were:
John Asa (where T's middle name was derived) and Ella Rose
Maternal side
LeRoy and Eleanor
and his adopted grandparents were/are Clay (where CJ's name came from) and Jean (real name is Mildred)
I like the older names, obviously. Jonathan Avery, Tristan Asa, and Clayton Jack.
Had we had a girl, she would have been Evelyn Rose
My adopted mom's mother's name is Clara Belle...yes you read that right Howdy Doody fans. She has always hated her name.
And I had a step-aunt named Lola Mae.
Grandmothers: Katherine and Una
Grandfathers: George and Jeremiah
