What’s in a name you ask. Many friends and family have wondered where we got the name Katie Lynn and what we might call her.
When Tom and I got the baby bug, we talked about a million names. We talked about Lauren, Emily, Mary, Katie and many more. Questions came up as to do we use a family name or do we just pick something we like. As we talked about names and narrowed down the choices, we both loved the name Katelynn. Only problem was that I wanted to pass down the name Lynn, as it is my middle name and my moms first name. It would be kind of funny to name her Katelynn Lynn. So after a lot of talking we came up with the name Katie Lynn and could decide later what to really call her. Whether is be Katie Lynn or Katelynn.
As you all know, we had no idea if this baby was a boy or a girl. Over the 8 months of pregnancy we would use both names that we had picked out and for some reason we always said Katie Lynn. The name really grew on us and when she came out, we still weren’t sure what version of the name we would call her.
Now that she is 5 weeks old and finally home, we both have been calling her Katie Lynn. We finally decided that we want her called by both her first name and middle name together. It is unique and we love the way it sounds. We feel that this is a beautiful name for a very beautiful baby girl.
We love what the name means and where it came from. Katie means Pure and Lynn is a family name being passed down.
So this is what’s in a name and our baby girl will go by Katie Lynn.
