[name_f]Olivet[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] was born on [name_f]October[/name_f] 18th. She joins three brothers and two sisters, meaning we now have an evenly matched set.
After a lot of agonizing over her name, we finally chose [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] as the perfect balance between a biblical name ("[name_f]Olivet[/name_f]" refers to the Mount of Olives in the [name_m]New[/name_m] Testament, where many significant events in [name_m]Jesus[/name_m]’ life happened, including his ascension into heaven), and a botanical name. We fell in love with it’s simple, unpretentious beauty, and it suits our daughter very well.
Daddy chose her middle name, [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], while I was in labor. She’s our [name_f]October[/name_f] baby, and we have enjoyed many long hikes through the woods this fall as we’ve awaited her arrival. We’ll never forget the beautiful colors that greeted our little autumn olive branch.
Congratulations on your baby girl! Her name is darling and I love how much it means to you!
All of your children are beautifully named, so baby [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] fits in perfectly
I’m always intrigued by bigger families (being an only child myself), do you mind me asking how old your other children are?
Congratulations! What an amazing choice. I’ve never heard [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] mentioned on the “nouveau biblical” lists but it’s just perfect. Your family is gorgeously named; I immediately get a sense of who you are as parents and the values you hold dear, but it’s not too overstated.
