...will be
Marianna Kate Bland
This was by far the easiest name decision yet, since it was our girl option when we were pregnant with both Hayes and Charlie. We are excited to finally be able to use it!
Marianna is the name of my late maternal grandmother "Marianna Brandon Burger". This was where my name came from, "Anna Clare" as well as my mom's name, "Melinda Ann". I have always loved the southern charm and tradition of double names in our family. However, having a double name myself, I definitely have had mixed feelings about them! I love my name, but it's always been super annoying being called "Anna Snyder" or now "Anna Bland" and constantly having to correct people. Marianna is the perfect solution because although it sounds like a double name, it's actually just one!
Kate is after Derek's late maternal grandmother, "Bonnie Kate Scarbrough". Derek has many fond memories of her wonderful cooking. Let's all hope that Marianna takes after her and not me:) We thought Kate was a perfect, elegant and simple counterpart to her four syllable first name! The meaning of "Kate" is pure & clear. We are already praying for her to have a pure heart and spirit. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God" Matthew 5:8
We can't wait for Marianna to join our family in June!
