Alright folks, the consensus is in: our baby girl has a name. After much thought and debate, we have finally agreed upon a name that we feel fits our little girl perfectly. Drum roll please.....Tally Jean Martineau
So, lets break it down. In Hebrew, Tal[ly] means "Morning Dew". And since we wanted something to do with the element of water, this fit. Tally is also the nickname of the place where Chris and I met: Tallahassee, FL. *You can sigh now*
Jean, as many of you know, is one of my favorite names ever. So much in fact that I wish it was MY middle name. This is the middle name of my mother and many close friends.However, we are not using the name because of my mother (sorry mom) but rather because we both just really like it and it means "God is gracious". And He truly has been gracious in giving us our little morning dew drop!
So there you have it. Our family is complete. Chris, Holly, Tally and Hank. We couldn't be more blessed!
We are so happy you finally have a name! We can't wait to meet her when are you guys coming up? we love you!!
ReplyDeleteTally fits her perfectly! I love that it's different too.
ReplyDeleteSo how are you feeling now that you've had a few days?
Holly, Congratulations!! WOW it sure does sound like you are a super women!! Way to go I can't believe you did the whole process in the tub. I hope your husband knows what a tuff woman you are. Your little girl is beautiful and I love the unique name. I hope all goes well with your recovery.--Just for the note yes we are in Logan right now my husband is doing his clinical rotations which a lot are not necessarily in logan so it is nice for me and the kids to be a little closer to home. Well I wish you the best of luck and will check your blog for more cute pics of your little Tally.
ReplyDeleteHolly,
ReplyDeleteHow perfect! I love the fact there is an actual story of why she will carry this name. You and Chris have really thought through how important names are. I hope you are doing well and recovering quickly. Take care, Jess
That's a really neat name. The good thing is that I'll always remember her name. Congrats again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful name! I love how it's different but not crazy different. Names are important and you did a great job deciding on one that is personal to you and Chris. -Ree
