Another E Name

It might be time to remove the poll and put an updated one on this site. We are seriously considering another E name.... The story is this - Hannah/Johanna are names of my grandmother and great-grandmother. There is also another Hannah in our life, who although she probably doesn't even remember, played a remarkable part in our journey as a family. When we were struggling through infertility treatments, Hannah was probably five years old. She would pray every night and that Ken and Shell would have a baby. When we had Bryant, in spite of all the doctors who said we'd never conceive, we knew little Hannah's persistent prayers had carried her tiny voice directly to God's heart. Less than a year later, we were shocked to learn that another child was growing in my womb. When Hannah was told, she was not surprised at all - she said that she had never stopped praying that Ken and Shell have a baby.... so we were having another. What better way to make her special prayers connect with the new little girl coming to her forever family? We are thinking about a name with Hannah in it - ElleHannah. We would prounounce it Ellee Hannah, just like it looks. What are your thoughts as followers of our journey? Please let us know what you think of that name.

I am not even sure that Hannah, now a college student, realizes how important she has been to us, but if she reads this blog entry, we want to thank her for her prayers that helped create our family!
