• Sep. 16, 2006 - What's in a name?

I was messing around with Photoshop and all the fun effects you can add to pictures in the program and came up with this collage of prego photos.  They are all real photos from today but they have been altered with glowing edges and charcoal and chalk effects.  Since we aren't finding out what we are having, we have a boy and a girl name chosen.  I think these are pretty solid names so I don't anticipate them changing before January but you never know!  It was just today that I ran across the name Anneleise (sounds like Anna-Lease) and realized how beautiful I think it is.  Well, when I was looking up the meaning of the name, I came to find out that it is a combination of the names "Anne" and "Liese" (fancy that!) but the wonderful part is that the name "Liese" originates from the name "Elizabeth", which just so happens to be the name of my dearest, bosom, kindred-spirit friend of 19 years and a co-blogger of yours, Betsyfriend.  It was just so perfect because the "Anne" part reminds me of Anne of Green Gables - a movie I watch at least once a year - and how every time I watch that movie I think of Elizabeth and how dear she is to me.  Elionai (sound like saying the letters L-E-O-nigh) is a modified spelling of a Biblical masculine name.  It means, "My eyes are on Jehovah".  It could easily be shortened to Eli if she so desired. The meaning of Samuel is quite relevant to the Bible - "I asked of God".  Asher has its own story that is dear to my heart but one only few know.  However, I had decided many, many years ago upon having "Asher" for a boy's name.  It simply means "joy or happiness".  I am quite fond of unique names that have a beauty in their meaning and spoken word.  Samuel Asher:   I asked of God and He gave me happiness. Elionai Anneleise:   My eyes are on God who is bountiful with grace.

What a neat photo! The names you chose are beautiful. Being a great fan of both Anne of Green Gables and Betsy Friend...I love the name Anneleise! Samuel Asher is so strong and masculine sounding. Don't think you can go wrong with either. Maybe you'll be blessed with twins and can use them both :)

Wow, I just love the first name for the baby if it's a girl! Very unique and pretty to say. I like to see such neat names and those I really like I keep a list of. Sounds weird I know, but when my Girl 2 was born the nurse asked me what we were going to name her and I said, "I don't remember." So, I just write everything down! Abiding in the Vine! Have you read the Company Porch today?
