I was born close to 10 pounds with black hair and the nurses pulled my hair up with a little red bow and brought me in to see my mother. Her reply "aww, but I wanted another boy". The nurse had to convince my mother to look at how adorable those fat cheeks and squinty eyes were and then she decided that I was worthy!! Haha.

So, my son was NEVER going to be a "III." We named him after my mother's maiden name (which, interestingly, can be a boy's first name). My daughter? We named HER after a little girl who was being chased around a video store by her parents. I kinda liked the name.

She thought of Mary Ellen, but too many Marys in the family already. So, she thought of the name Ruth. My grandma always thought I was named after her. I still think, that in a way, I am.
