What's in a Name

Well, after much debate and a horrific view into the names on my side of the family's ancestry around the dinner table yesterday, we have settled on a name for little Shu-Shu (assuming we can break the habit of calling her Shu-Shu!). Her name will be

Miller Adelaide Ethridge
Miller is Phil's mom's maiden name and Adelaide is name that we just like. Maybe we'll get to take her to Adelaide, Australia one day- the place where her daddy first heard the name! As for what she will be called, we're throwing around Miller, Millie, and Addy. Of course, there was good ole great-great aunt Zora. Hmmm . . . .

Love the name. You could call her Mae.

I am SO honored that you're using my family's name! Thank you!! I love the potential nicknames for her! She's ours and that all that counts--we'll already love her immensely. Having a name makes it so much more personal in praying for her. God bless you all!
Love, P2

I'm so excited to be able to pray for your baby girl by name! I love all of the nicknames, what does Wilson think? One of my best friends growing up was Addie, a great nickname. Although, Millie is just too precious. Love it! Proud Aunt Ashley

I absolutely LOVE Adelaide!
Do you remember Laura Mckee? One of her little twins' name is Adelaide.
I've always thought that name was beautiful.
By the way, y'all are really on the ball having the name all picked out. We never decide on a name until the way to the hospital...so good job :-)
