What's in a name?

WE HAVE A NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a lot of thought and debating, we have a name for sweet baby Nelson. For those of you that actually thought her name was Nelly-- sorry to disappoint. Her name is...

Allison Montgomery Nelson

Jeffrey named her a while ago and I was so on the fence. Jeffrey plus my father and father in law would call her "Ally" or "Ally-oops" so I knew we already had a nickname no matter what. Once I saw her sweet little face in our ultrasound, I knew it was meant to be her name. Nothing else sounds "right" when I refer to her so Allison Montgomery she will be. 

Where is her name from?

Apparently Jeffrey and our dad's were joking that she should be named her after the last beer Jeffrey brewed. The last beer he made is called "Ally-oops" because he put in the wrong ingredients. They were all joking about naming her Ally after that conversation. Then Jeffrey said "Allison" and the rest is history. I can't wait to tell baby girl that story... haha! It is very fitting for her daddy though. 

Her middle name, Montgomery, is the last name of a dear friend of ours that sadly passed away a few years ago. When Jeffrey found out we were expecting, this was the first thing he said he wanted to use as a name boy or girl. She is honoring a wonderful life that was surrounded by many loving people. We asked his parents for their blessing to use their last name and of course they said yes. 

So there you have it, Allison Montgomery (or as some call her: Ally Monty Nelly). We are thinking about throwing in Elizabeth after my grandma which would make her initials AMEN!!!
