Baby Girl Gets a Name

When we found out that we were having another girl, we went back to our short list of names from round one. But when we looked at the names, none of them sounded right. That list went in the trash and we were back to the beginning.

We wanted something to honor my side of the family since Aliyah's middle name is Jacquelyn after Tyler's grandmother. We came up with 3 family names to use (as middle names) depending on what we were going to choose for a first name.

We came up with a few names for our new list - I bought a baby name book - I asked for help on facebook - Tyler and I talked and talked about the perfect name. In the end, we kept coming back to Evelyn. I love the meaning: 'life' and 'little bird'. It sounded elegant and classy but unfortunately, it was too trendy for our liking... what to do??

We played around with different variations of Evelyn and tried our favorite for a few weeks without telling anyone. Tyler would walk by me in the house, rub my belly and whisper her name. The more we said it out loud, the more we loved it. We shared her name with family last week and now want to share it with you.

Everly Jean Inzer - I love the nickname Evie and if you ask Aliyah what her sister's name is, she will tell you Ever. The name fits our family so wonderfully - unique, beautiful and fun. Perfect!

We are so excited to meet you sweet Everly Jean.
