What's in a namesake?

My children are always fascinated by where their names come from, so this morning when the angel Gabriel came up, I mentioned to Gabriella the origins of her name.

"Gabriella, did you know that YOU were named after an angel?" I said.

She grinned and nodded. "Uh-huh," she said matter-of-factly. "Grammie!"


Well, there you have it. Out of the mouths of babes comes wisdom! ;-)
(and the funny part is, she IS named after my mom - her middle name is Jayne.)
