She is gonna have this name forever..choose carefully

How did you get your name? How did you choose your kids' names?? Very carefully I would assume.
Sometimes I think maybe choosing Emma's name was too easy.. I kinda went with the 1st and ONLY name me and Bradley agreed on.. I said Emma.. and that was that. Bradley liked it .. I liked it.. Emma it is.
Her middle name was in memory of my dad.. Jo.. my dad's name was Joe he died August 14, 2008 . So since she will never know her Pop Pop Ray we decided to name her after him.

So if you told me 5 years ago I would be calling my daughter Emma.. I would have never believed you.. well one because I swore I would never have kids and two... well Emma.. thats just so plain and old fashioned..


But now as I look at that face.. Emma Jo is a perfect name for her..

See I always wanted a "different" name.. a name others didnt have.. maybe some would think it was weird.. but it would definitely be unique.. maybe teachers couldn't pronounce it.. but hey.. it will be "Cool" ...
Then I get pregnant... and start thinking of how every name I find can be made fun of by kids.. or how the teacher won't be able to pronounce it ( and being a Tanya with a short vowel sound and an A in my name.. I know ALL about this) Suddenly.. this plain.. old fashioned name was perfect..
