We Picked A Name!

When we decided to start an adoption from Ethiopia we decided that we'd pick a new name for our future Ethiopian daughter instead of using the name we picked for our future Chinese daughter, Raven. I just feel that that is our Chinese daughter's name and if we don't get to complete that adoption then we won't be using it at all.

ANYWAY, we decided on the name Alicia, pronounced "ah LEE sha". One thing I like about it is it has the same first two letters as Freddy's given name. Freddy also likes the spanish connection & pronunciation "ah LEE see uh". I think it's a pretty and feminine name. I've had it in my head for a few months now and it's definitely the one. :-)


Most likely we will use "Alicia" as her first name and use her Ethiopian name as her middle name, depending on how old she is when we receive her referral and what her Ethiopian name is. We might keep her Ethiopian name as first name and use Alicia for middle name. Not sure yet, but we will in some form be keeping her Ethiopian name.
