DH gave me the best Christmas gift...

DH gave me a chocolate bar with a golden ticket (a la Willie Wonka) that read, "Name this baby whatever your heart desires" I cried, I was so touched!! I have a definate passion about this baby's name, as I've been praying for him/her since last spring. DH could see that, and also that I was frustrated he didn't have the same passion this time around (baby #4).

He named our last baby, Mercia Grace, and I remember how hard it was to let go of control and just let him choose. I knew he wouldn't pick anything I hated, and in the end I was proud to say "Her daddy named her!"

So now it is my turn, and I take it very seriously. I know if it's a girl, she will be Eliana Faith ("God answers my prayer for Faith"), but a boy... that is much harder. I really like Corban/Korban, which means "Set apart for God". DH thinks it sounds like Kurt Cobain, to which I reply "Do you really think anyone else would make that connection?!"

I also like Elias or Ellis, both are variations of Elijah which means "The Lord is my God." But then, he would have a sister named Aliya... too similar for Elias?

Just wanted to share my exciting news!

Eliana is beautiful! And I love Elias, although Elijah, to me, is even better. How about Isaac, Isaiah, Nathaniel, Zachariah, Colby, or Colton?
