The monogram.

If you read my previous post, you know what we went thru to come up with a name for our sweet baby girl. I really never thought it would be so hard. Anyways, that post really summed up everything…our little wee one is going to be :

Collins Richardson Glenn

Collins…how this came about. I have heard the name here and there, it’s not too common but I always liked it. Well…this might sound silly, but for honesty’s sake, I’m going to lay it all out there. I remember watching The Blind Side and thinking that Collins Tuohy was so pretty (when they showed the pictures at the end) and I just loved her name. Well…that was quite some time before I was pregnant. But, then when pregnant I was reading a Southern Living magazine article on the Tuohy’s and it just spoke to me…I fell in love with the name Collins once I saw it written out. Mikey liked it from day one…so we just decided to start using it a bunch and seeing if it really felt right. Well, the more I thought about it, wrote it out (yes, I did that), said it…I just KNEW, this was THE NAME. We love it…cannot wait for our precious Collins to arrive in March!!

Richardson…my maiden name. I really wanted a family name in there somewhere and this was the perfect choice. As I said in my long name post…there just are NO good female family names on EITHER side of the family, so Richardson it was. Mikey was a tad apprehensive about it at first…he thinks it is too common, but whatever…this is MY name and I love it. I still very much associate myself as a “Richardson” and I want that for my little girl as well. Plus, she and her mommy will have the same monogram, how cool!!

So, that's it. We love our little girl’s name and cannot wait to meet her!!!
