My mom said they'd talked about several names but hadn't decided on one, and she too was indisposed (too funny) when they came in. When she came out, my dad told her my name was Marcia. Named after a waitress, I was. They'd seen it on her nametag somewhere and he liked it. Oh, and it means "Warlike"...wow :) I don't remember liking or disliking it when I was growing up, but having long blonde hair parted in the middle during The Brady Bunch years helped me appreciate it a little bit. <br />Thanks for sharing this wonderful, random story!!<br />Blessings,<br />MarciaSimple Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655741174904816921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833445411064040008.post-54685123824608785862012-05-14T12:54:39.351-07:002012-05-14T12:54:39.351-07:00Dearest Lori -

Life was pretty crazy here during April, but is slowly beginning to settle down now, thank goodness. :) And for some reason, my computer does not like your email address and won't send out the replies I write to you from my email account! So I'm sending this directly from your blog post in hopes it'll get to you this time. :)<br /> <br />Anyway, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help, your communication, your willing to seek out answers, and your determination in getting them for me. It was very interesting to hear what Dr. Aisen had to say. Thank you thank you thank you! ♥ God bless you! I hope you how much you mean to me!! I printed off your reply and am keeping it in Mom's file. <br /> <br />I guess that all we can do is take things one day at a time, thank God for each and every moment, and pray that a cure for Alzheimer's is discovered sooner rather than later. <br /> <br />Sending you a huge {{HUG}} and lots of love, my friend. God bless you!!!!!<br /><br />xoxo laurieHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833445411064040008.post-28085969299107258352012-05-13T00:27:25.138-07:002012-05-13T00:27:25.138-07:00Hi Tia!

My thinking was that the family basically now had "rights" to her name, so what would it hurt to just quickly switch our names before she was old enough to notice? I don't want to know how much I pestered them about this. :)An Island Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199628226059408376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833445411064040008.post-54974479989599148692012-04-16T17:43:44.626-07:002012-04-16T17:43:44.626-07:00WHEW!

I do believe I like "lovely, beautiful, and wise" MUCH better, Tia! hehehe! What a fun and interesting post today! You did alot of homework on those names, didn't you?? I have always loved the name "Grace" which is why our beloved little pooch is Maizie Grace. :)<br /><br />xoxo laurieHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833445411064040008.post-87206916232852932702012-04-16T15:58:19.739-07:002012-04-16T15:58:19.739-07:00I was an unnamed child for nearly a week in the ho...I was an unnamed child for nearly a week in the hospital post birth. Thanks to my Mother coming across a sweet, yet unfortunately ugly baby, with the same exact name she was going to give me. So she plucked my current name out of thin air just so she could sign some papers and get us all out of there. Little did she know, both my first and middle name mean in the appearance or likeness of God. Crazy stuff. Glad I don't have any crazy God complex.<br /><br />Your grandbabies are beautiful, BEAUTIFUL! You are so blessed with all the family and love you have surrounding you.

I too believe in the power of a name, but when I was first married I had no idea...but God was obviously with me as I called our first-born Claire-Louise which is French/Old German and the inherent meaning if Brilliant/Protectress, Melissa meaning Honeybee in Greek, meaning industrious and creative, and our Son, who was born many years later, Samuel David (meaning God has heard/Beloved of God) - so when people want to name their new born babies and they tell me they're not interested in the meaning of the name...I want to shout it from the rooftops - it's all in the name!

I see you have chosen some GOOD names over they years. My oldest is Tara, too...and my next was to be Maggie but we changed it at the last minute to Mindy (and now everyone calls her Mimi). She looked like a little miniature rosebud and so it was....Mindy Rose. I named her while MyHero was out of the room..cuz I am just that take charge kinda gal...yeah...I am my own mother.<br /><br />I loved this post, Tia. Names are such funny things, aren't they? I was given a different first name and then called by my middle name since I was born. So, I always wondered WHY that happened..and no one knew. Rather an odd Irish household I grew up in...surrounded by cousins named Rosemary and Eileen & Stephen & Mary Frances& then there were the Maureens & the Margaurites & Margarets...and there I was...funny first name-call me by name #2.<br /><br />I always liked Grace but because I am partial to tripping over nothing that would NOT have been a apt name for me...perhaps Stumbler would have worked? Or Tripsie-a morph of the name Trixie?<br /><br />We let MyHero name our last pet- He came up with Sugar...and, because he had also named the cat we had a Spice...yes...that is right- Sugar and Spice...(and neither was nice).<br /><br />Well, I guess I have worked this subject to death so I am off now. Have a great California night- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.com
