What?????? A Name????

Received an "emergency e-mail" today from our agency.

Could you speak with Ollman and ask them about the new name of Gabriela if they think to change her name. We need than information,because on Monday before we departure for the town of Razgrad we will sign documents with a notary and now I am preparing it and I need the name of the child.

We knew we wanted to keep Gabriela but we had never discussed a middle name --- I guess we thought we'd have plenty of time for that. You know when you're put on the spot and the mind goes blank; that's what happened to us; we couldn't think of a middle name that sounded right. So, we asked for help and received a lot of input.

Thank you to everyone for helping us -- These are the middle names we considered --in order to appreciate how pretty they all sound you have to say them aloud ....

Gabriela Brooke, Gabriela Paige, Gabriela Regan, Gabriela Shay, Gabriela Elisabeth, Gabriela Lynn, Gabriela Rose, Gabriela Leigh, Gabriela Anne, Gabriela Raine, Gabriela Faith, Gabriela Sarah, Gabriela Naomi, Gabriela Valerie, Gabriela Rae, Gabriela Sophie, Gabriela Riley

Jack & I narrowed it down to 3 and then we were stuck; we both liked them equally as much. So, we threw those three into the hat (literally) and the winner is:

Gabriela Lynn Ollmann

The name just feels right, doesn't it?

That's it for tonight ..... shopping is finally done (I think) -- now to try to fit it all into the suitcases ... wish me luck!
