The Name

Before finalizing on Laaija, we went through many names. The usual source were BabyNames and Babycenter. We even tried What a Lovely Name. I even dedicated the whiteboard in our bedroom to baby names, so Shanta and me can write down names which comes to our mind. From all of them, the final contenders were — Arwen, Eliza, Erin, Hannah, Jessica, Julia, Katie, Laaija, Lena, Lisa, Lucy, Olivia, Rachel, Sarah, Sophie, Vanessa.
