Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Here are my girls:
Anna Mae (called by both)

Other's we've considered:
Jacinta
Kateri
Teresa
Mary Clare
Helen or Elenie

I love the "out-dated" saints names but dh would never even hear of it! Such as Agatha and Agnes. Funny that it was ok with him to name our boys Augustine and Athanasius though. They go by August and Athan.

Neat to hear you all brain storm. We are not in the process of naming a baby but we may get to give middle names to our children to be adopted in the spring!

Hi~

I love the name Gemma, after St. Gemma Galgani. She was pure, innocent, beautiful, and pious. I couldn't convince my husband to use this name, but maybe you will be more successful than I!

God bless you during your wait!

Grace and peace...

How about this for some off-the-wall suggestions? Loveday is an old Cornish name, based on a day set aside for reconciliation and settling of disputes. An ancestor of my husband's was called Mariabella -- lovely, but a bit too unusual for us.

Names we considered (and some of them we used!)
Alice
Beatrice
Clare
Felicity
Katharine
Mary
Olivia
Tabitha

Happy choosing!
Elizabeth

Lisa -

How are you with Moira? Sounds to me like that would fit right in.

Peace,
Nancy
