What's In a Name?

The suggestions that have been made have all been great. I have 3 top picks and they are Ariel, which is Aaron's pick. It means "Lion of God". Isabella, my mother's pick. It means "Devoted to God". Sharon, MKG's pick. I like this one because of her logic behind it. It means "From the Plain of Sharon (in the Holy Land). I am really searching out the "perfect" girl name with a strong Biblical meaning. I would also consider a name with the meaning of "Blessing, or Blessed" since this baby is truly a blessing and the answer to many prayers.

We have a boy's name picked: Raymond James. Raymond is my father's and brother's middle name and James is Aaron's late father's name. It also happens to be my grandfather's, late uncle's, and cousin's name. Raymond is not a Biblical name, however; in French and German it means "Guards Wisely". And...he can be called RJ for short. How cute!!!
