"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
~ William Shakespeare (- Romeo and Juliet)
After much deliberation, I have decided to use my kids' real names in this blog. Names are a big thing to me. I always feel a crushing weight of responsibility when it comes to naming a new baby (and therefore put it off until 8.5 months along... much to my husband's frustration) knowing that this is the name he or she will bear for all eternity.
Lilly at 3 months.
Our kid's names all come from family, the Bible and/or favorite saints and each holds a special meaning for us. We like them. (The names and the kids.) It is also been frustrating when family and friends say things like "I thought it was your blog, but I wasn't sure because I didn't recognize any of the kid's names".
I guess the bottom line is, I have never gotten totally comfortable with the whole blog-alias thing, so I give up. :-)
That which we call a Rose.
P.S.~ Real names are listed on the about page along with the aliases for lessening the confusion as much as possible.
