We were actually thinking of using my husband's initals, CT, if this little one turns out to be a boy. Otherwise, I think we're going with Elizabeth because she was my son's nurse, she's one of the few people who got to see him alive, and I want to honor her and that time in the hospital with that name. <br /><br />xoxoFunsizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651428802167787415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603503249933828813.post-41520762612579694112009-09-17T21:42:31.027-07:002009-09-17T21:42:31.027-07:00I love it.

I think it is a wonderful way for them to have a connectin to a sibling they will never have the chance to know while on this Earth.

To think that you acutally can tell the story of how Eli got his name, in some part because of Ellie...beautiful. <br /><br />Now, WHO CARES what others think. It was very important to us to pick a name that in some way, conjured up Abby. That is why we ulitmately chose what we did. It had to start with an A.

The spellings are quite similar, but they don't sound exactly the same, more just like they "go together." <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this with us. I suspect people will think what they will think. How I hate that this even has to cross your mind. . .Bluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026618678540051581noreply@blogger.com
