I know my family recognizes the title of this post, but for the rest of you, let me explain. "Pillow Sheet Robbins"...It's only the greatest name ever given to a childhood pet. Personally I think it shows my creative side. I had a knack for selecting names from the very beginning. Pillow Sheet is one of a kind yet pronounceable. If it wasn't for such a name I don't think that Rabbit would have ever been remembered. Think of all the things you name throughout your life- dolls, stuffed animals, pets, fantasy football teams, companies, and heck even our cars. There are 1,000's of names out there. What makes one so special? After buying books and reading through list after list, contemplating everything from Ava to Zoey, it's funny that we ultimately kept coming back to the one name we have always loved. It's like "Pillow Sheet" when you know you know. Tim and I have decided that our 'Tater Tot' is now Hannah. We have always loved the name, especially Tim. I think it's sweet and girly. It works for a little one and an adult. We appreciate all of your suggestions and hope you like our final choice. Our precious 2 year old nephew Zane said on the phone the other day "I love Hannah." It just feels right and I hope she likes it.
Some fun facts:
1. According to the social security department Hannah was the 23rd most popular girls name in the US in 2009.
2. It's origin is Hebrew
3. It means 'grace' which ironically is our current front runner for a middle name
4. Hannah is a palindrome (same forwards as backwards)
I love the name Hannah. I think it's perfect for your little tater tot.
ReplyDeletefrom Nana. Yeah. I have called her precious baby Hannah(in my mind)since we found out she was a girl because I knew you both really liked the name and thought you might use it. Now we know!! It is very sweet and think it will fit her perfectly! Lesley, you write very well and I do love the story of Pllow sheet.However, might be rivaled by Jeff"s name for his goldfish "Orangish Wishes")
