A New Name!

I know we told everyone in the world that Yue Lan's name was going to be Elizabeth Jane. 

But that was, like, months ago!  And we got tired of that name.  So, we have been tossing names around for the past few months. 

I have always like Hazel; Eric has always thought it sounded like a witch's name.

Until yesterday.

We finally had to make a decision - a name was needed for her immigration paperwork.

What would it be? 

I asked Eric what we should put down and he casually responded "Hazel."

"What?"  I shrieked.  "Why?  You hate that name!"

"It's been growing on me over the past few months.  I like it now."

"Are you sure?"  I asked suspiciously.  "I don't want you to just give in and accept a name you hate."

"No, really I like it.  I want it to be Hazel."

"Ok, then"  I replied and filled in the paper work before he could change his mind;)

So, our newest daughter's official name is Hazel Yue Lan Sharp!
