The Name Game

Selecting a name for Baby T has been one of the hardest decisions Ben and I have had to make. After much discussion, we have finally settled on one - Kingsley Anne Tompkins. My grandmother's (Mary Shelle) maiden name is Kingsley, but it wasn't thought of as a first name until we met a young lady with that name several years ago. We made a mental note of it, just in case we were blessed with a baby girl. We picked Anne only because we liked it. We can't wait to welcome our new bundle of joy, Kingsley.

I am very happy that you and Ben have decided to have a baby. I like the baby's name and am happy it has family significance.

Ben's Grandmother Tompkins' middle name is
Anna. Ben's Great Great Grandmother was Annie Davies Lewis. So even though your baby is not being in particular named after them it is nice.

Thank you for including me in your good news and mailing list.

Hoping you are both doing well!

Love, Aunt gail
