[DebCsMom]

We matched with 2 of the 3 Birth Moms prior to the birth. So we chose the names together, Birth Mom & Us. Then the children middle names honor their Bmoms. Our first adopted daughter is Cylie (Kylie) Elizabeth. Elizabeth is bmoms middle name & also Cylie's Great Grandma's first name.

Our 2nd adopted daughter is Cirrah (Kira) Emani. We were matched when she was 1 1/2 days days old. We hadn't decided on a name in time for her Bmoms discharge from the hospital. She named her Emani. We LOVED it & kept it as her middle name. Would have kept it as her first name if we didn't have the "C" thing going! LOL All our children's name begin with a "C". After our 2 bio children, Chelsea & Cody, we were stuck! LOL

Our adopted son is Caleb Noah Nicholas. His name has QUITE a meaning. We told our bio son that he could name the baby as long as we all agreed to it. We tossed around a few different names. Then one night he came up with Caleb. We instantly loved it. He didn't want to discuss any more names, Caleb was it!! The next day I spoke to his Bmom. We talked about names. I asked her what she was thinking of. She said she liked the last 2 names we mentioned but not enough to keep. THEN... she says, "You know what name I ABSOLUTELY love? I LOVE the name CALEB!!!" I got the chills! When I told her what had happened the night before & how adament Cody was at having the name Caleb. We agreed it was fate that we were together. His Bmoms name is Nicole so we chose Nicholas. Noah comes from, "Miracles Happen To Those Who Believe".

We really wanted the names to be something that was a decision made by all of us, Birth Mom included. The only stipulation is that it had to begin with a "C". LOL
