Naming... it's a task not to be taken lightly.
Naming your baby. A difficult task, at best. We looked through the books. We thought long and hard. We struggled! And our babies were named. Those names, however, came when these babies were one day old and we were on our way out of the hospital. Some were collaborations, one he named, one I named. We never found out what we were having ahead of time so we never chose names ahead of time. To me, that's like knowing what is inside your Christmas presents and not getting to play with it.
And what about the meanings of names??? What if you give your baby boy a name that means tall and strong, and he ends of short and scrawny like great-uncle so-and-so??
And is it possible to live up to the meanings of those names? What if Joy is a cantankerous little girl? My name means "beloved" and "creator" depending on the origin of it. Am I those things? I can hope.
Name a quilt. How do you decide what to call a quilt??? A quilt that may be made of blocks that have been named since the beginning of time and maybe you added your own flair to them and came up with something beautiful. What do you name it??? What if it's a Lone Star? It is a block that has been around a long time. What if you make that? It's certainly no original, but the colors are all your choosing. So what do you name it? How do you decide?
Naming... whether a child or a pet or a quilt... it's a difficult task.
