It'll be better for her...or at least

that is what I, her humbled mother, am telling myself. Maybe I should say it'll be prettier and more feminine or more common or maybe I should just say that I got sick of hearing about male versions of her name. The bottom line is that we are legally changing Aubrey's name to Lillian Constance Alexander. We'll call her Lily.

Please make a special effort to call her Lillian or Lily in the future. We've confused poor Sophia so much by just testing out other random names on Lily for days at a time and then changing it again. Sophia now calls her made up names like Peekish, Toedee, Goombaga, etc....

I announced her new name at the library earlier this week and again last night at dinner with friends. At the library someone commented that Lily is a very fitting name for her and our friends love the name Lillian and if they would have had two girls instead of a boy/girl set of twins they were planning to name them Lola and Lillian. (smile)

Maybe I would have believed this entry except: 1) the diminutive name was spelled Lilly and Lily (which would be correct?) and 2) Sophia doesn't use baby talk, she's a big girl.
