L is For…..
L is for Lucy. The name of our daughter. Due in on November 25th.
She is currently nestled in my tummy, listening to Stars through the headphones resting on my belly. And I am so in love with her already.
As a child, a family friend gave me the nickname “Lucy” from the Peanuts, because I was rather grouchy and loud 🙂
I have always loved the name, though. The day before Nathan and I found out the gender of this little one, I was walking around the University of Arkansas campus, hoping to come up with the perfect name if our child was a girl. The entire walkway of the UARK campus has the names of every graduate etched in the cement. I looked down, and there was the name “Lucy” jumping out at me. I immediately called Nathan and ran the name past him. He LOVED it!
Violet and Lucy. My girls. Amazingly, months after we had chosen the name, we had a bit of an ancestral discovery: my great great aunts (who were sisters) were named Violet and Lucy! I had no idea of this family link. Kinda cool and freaky all at once, eh? Destiny, I suppose 🙂
This past weekend, My mother and I were antiquing, when I put my hand down on a table for support, and noticed that my hand was resting on this red aluminum “L”. It was $4, and the perfect addition to the girls’ room.
Lucy Emmeline.
That’s my girl!
Aww, I love it! That’s so cool about your great great aunts!! It’ll be a neat little story to tell your girls 🙂
What a sweet story. 🙂 I love the name Lucy. I think it’s classic, cute, and beautiful all wrapped into one.
Oh, I love her name. So sweet. 🙂
Aw 🙂 That is my favorite girl name. I do not have children but I loved the name so much I named my dog that when we got her about 7 years ago 🙂
That red L is perfect!!! Lucy would have been the name we used if we were having a girl this time. 🙂
This title sounds vaguely familiar… 😉
Thanks for all of the Lucy love! You all are the sweetest 🙂
I love it! This inspires me to do an “N is For…” post so that I can announce the baby’s name (I have yet to do so). Thanks for the inspiration and beautiful name choice!
I love the name Lucy! Violet and Lucy? Adorable! I guess it really was just meant to be. I’m a student up in Fayetteville and I really loving searching Senior Walk on my way to class. I love to find people with my last name and also get name inspiration! So fun! <3
My little niece is named Lucy (full name Luciana), and I’ve always thought it was so cute. I especially love the combination of Lucy and Violet!
