I’m just quickly popping by between a feeding and a nap to let you all know that the love of my life was born at 4:30 this morning, [name_f]September[/name_f] 19th 2017, and she’s called [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u]. My daughter is named after the generations and generations of Elizabeths in my maternal family, including me, but especially my [name_f]Nanna[/name_f] and my mom, [name_f]Libby[/name_f], who passed away when I was a kid.
[name_u]Hero[/name_u] came to me when my [name_f]Nanna[/name_f] said “you’re my hero”, and I said “no, [name_f]Nanna[/name_f], you are my hero.” The name [name_u]Hero[/name_u] besides being cool and spunky is really because I realized in that moment that all of these Elizabeths in my life are heroes, my heroes, and I wanted that passed down to [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. Kind of trumps any other middle name I had previously thought of!
Finally, I would like to thank all the berries who helped me through this beautiful surprise pregnancy and naming journey.
With [name_u]Love[/name_u],
[name_f]Lizzy[/name_f]
P.S. Just realized that Hero can also be a little nod to Hermione Granger. As a potterhead who grew up with the books I’m pleased as hell that my daughter shares a birthday with such an amazing character! ; )
This is absolutely beautiful!! I am so thrilled for you and little [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u]! [name_u]Truly[/name_u] a stunning and meaningful choice. All the best to you
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is an incredible name! So full of strength and spunk. Also, I absolutely love the meaning behind it, it’s beautiful.
Congratulations!!
What a wonderful name! I love the spunk of [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] and the thoughtfulness and memories she holds. Congratulations!
I love significance behind her name, and as someone who’s usually not a fan of the name [name_u]Hero[/name_u], I say your [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is beyond perfect. Congrats, [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f]!
Once again thank you so much berries for the very sweet words. [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is now two weeks old and we’re both doing pretty well as we learn the ropes with one another. My [name_f]Nanna[/name_f] is in love with her as are everyone else in the family and friends who have come to visit. Our days have been lazy and spent mostly sleeping and cuddling because [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] prefers to keep active at night. We’ve started calling her [name_f]Hedwig[/name_f] because of her owlish ways lol. [name_u]Love[/name_u] you all!
Apologies I am late to the party but I really wanted to feed back how breathtaking [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Hero[/name_u] is. I would be so wanting to share the origin with baby herself.
Very best wishes.
