OHE
Oliver Edmunds Holloway.
We've known since we conceived that if Baby H was a boy we would name him Oliver. Why you ask? Simply because we love it. It's different and not often heard anymore. The middle name, Edmunds, is from Brent's side of the family. Edmunds was Brent's great-grandfather. We feel good about not only getting a name we love but also one that connects this baby to the family he comes from.
Calling Oliver by his name makes this pregnancy seem all the more real. Last week Brent said something very simple, "when Oliver gets here..." and it completely caught me off guard. I think for the first time I actually was able to imagine what a tiny piece of our new life will be like. We can't wait to meet our little Oliver face to face.
A bit of useless information: The name Oliver means" kind one, olive tree (a biblical symbol of dignity and fruitfulness) and peace." Edmunds means "wealthy protector."
The cat is out of the bag. Let the monogramming begin!
I love the name Amanda! It is such a rich name and full of great meaning!
