Wie geht's?
A huge blogosphere welcome to our latest grandchild! Ivy Dulcie Fenn!
Names are important, right, and I know I'm biased, but our latest grandchild may just have won the first-equal best grandchild name of all time award (along with Asher and Poppy).
It looks great in print, too.
The middle name specifically honours Ivy's great grandmother/ Jade's grandmother/ my mum.
BTW symbolically, Ivy represents fidelity, eternity, and enduring attachment due to its evergreen nature and tenacious climbing ability. Historically, it was used in wreaths for newlyweds to signify loyalty and in ancient cultures for its associations with immortality.
Dulcie is derived from the Latin word meaning sweet. It was a hugely popular name in NZ around the time my mother was born (1930) and coincidentally, it has enjoyed a resurgence since 1997 in England and Wales.
