Teancum or Lily???



This is a drawing of Teancum. If we have a boy we will name him after Teancum, a valiant man from the Book of Mormon who ended a long drawn out war at the sacrifice of his own life. He was a great leader and a follower of Christ. We're hoping that as we teach our son (maybe) about his namesake that he will try to take on some of those qualities that people will think of him as brave and valiant. Or that he can be a follower of Christ.

But, if our baby is a girl we want to name her Lily.



This is a picture of a Lily that grows in the mountains of Bolivia where some of my ancestors come from. Think of the cool rolling hills of the middle country where my great grandfather rode on his horse. So, when she asks about her name I could say something cool like that.

But, there's also a bunch of other things or people she could be named as. Lily Potter, who was Harry Potter's mother. But she probably won't understand that significance of Lily Potter until she reads all seven of the books. So, we would have to make something up as we go.

We're pretty set on those names but if there are any other suggestions with a cool explanation then we're all ears :)

  2. I am hoping for a girl bc I see my 2 boys and I get excited thinking of them being the best playmates ever. So another girl for your sweet little girl. But hey, I'm a fan of boys too. Oh and I so approve of Lily! Infact I have it as the possible middle name for the day I have, if I have, a girl.
