Meet Miss Taylor

With Olivia, we narrowed down a list of over 10,000 names to 100 to 20 to 2. When Olivia was born, we did not name her immediately, trying to decide which name fit her best. We also did not know whether Olivia was a boy or a girl before she was born.


However, with our latest addition, we figured it would be an easier transition for Olivia (and Mama) to learn if she was having a brother or a sister. So, we found out a couple of weeks ago we are having another little girl!


Fortunately, the name game is actually easier this time. We will be paying honor to our grandmothers -- Ava Lee Barton (Mark's "Nanny"), Kathron Westerhold (Courtney's "Granna"), and Dorothy Daily (Courtney's "Grandma"). One important side note: Dorothy always wanted to be, and claimed she should have been, named Sarah.


Thus, the name we finalized is:



Sarah Katelee Taylor

To be called "Katelee"





According to http://babynamescountry.com/meanings/Katelee.html, Katelee is an American combination of Kate and Lee. The Greek name Kate means pure. Lee is actually short for other names, such as Leonard (brave as a lion), or Farley (sheep meadow). And, the Hebrew name Sarah means princess.



So, we will have a pure princess who is as brave as a lion from the sheep meadow?
