What's in a name?

So, we always get a lot of questions concerning Jovie's name.  Is it short for anything?  Is it made up?  Jovie, as in Bon Jovi?

No, no, and no.

To answer all the questions...Jovie is an actual name - albeit one that came around later.  Plus, I'm too young to be into Bon Jovi.  Also, Rhett is really into the meaning of names, so he wanted a name that meant something special.

To be honest, I liked the name Pippa (before Pippa Middleton!).  But the name actually means "lover of horses".  So, that was a no-go.  

Jovie means joyful.  And, simply, we want our daughter to be joyful in the Lord.  

And if you're looking for someone of the same name, the girl in the movie Elf (Zooey Deschanel) is named Jovie.  But, that's not why we chose it and we think our Jovie is much more special!

In other news...Jovie will be 3 months in a couple of days.  And here's just a few from the end of week 12.
