How Did You Come Up With That Name?

We really wanted her to have an African name so we spent some time looking through books and online websites for African names. We came across her name in the process. It's an African name that means "long awaited child". Seriously folks, we're not making this stuff up. As soon as we saw it, we knew that would be her name. Her full name is Kaiyin Mariam Burke at this point. My sister's name is Mariam and she paid big money to secure that middle name. :) We will probably add to her name when we discover what her given name is.

    I think the name you have chosen is so incredible. I have often thought about it--its so musical--just beautiful--and we so love that its African in addition to its meaning!! Love you, sweetie!! Love, Gillian
