Emmy's Name

When we found out we were going to have another girl, we started searching for the perfect name.

We determined we had to find a first name with a double letter since the rest of us in the family have double letter first names (ToDD, SuzaNNe, REEse, and even our kitty LiBBy) and our last name has double letters (HAAg).

We did a lot of name research before Reese was born, so we looked back at our past notes. One of our favorite names at that time was Emilia. While we still really liked that name, it doesn't have double letters.

I went to high school with a friend whose name is Emerlee, but we called her Emmy, and I always liked her name. I emailed my friend Emmy and asked her if it was okay that we use her name, if she had any nicknames (nice or mean) growing up, and if she liked her name. Emmy Gorman approved.

For all those reasons above, we chose the first name Emmy.

Emmy's middle name, Jane, is the same as mine and Grandma Cipra.
