Names Names Names

There have been many names floating around the Gillot household the past month or so. The name "G2" made us feel like we were going to birth the latest transformer or the next software package to be released by Google.

Many of you know that Addison has been pulling for the name Abby Cadabby. This was a constant theme in Addison's naming convention. At the last sonogram when we found out we were having a girl Addison gazed at the screen and asked just one question. "Where is Kermit and Piggy?"

There was one name that kept rising to the top of the list. It was important for us to pay tribute to someone that is near and dear to this family. At first we thought that G2 would share the same middle name as this lovely lady. Then we had that magical WOOHOO moment and decided to combine the two names. Our daughter's name is......

Coralyn Grace Gillot

My aunt and dear friend provided us with the inspiration for this name. Kellie Lin is one of the most inspiring women I have had the privilege to spend time with. Although the "Lyn" in Coralyn is spelled differently the name is a tribute to this amazing woman. It was also kismet that about a week after we discovered that we LOVED the name Cora that Kellie showed me a picture of the name and stated how beautiful she thought is was.

Coralyn is without question an original just as we all are. Sweet Cora can be sure that her name is a combination of beauty, love, and inspiration.
