Boston Michelle Brown

I have lots of friends who are pregnant and trying to pick a name for their new little bundles and I get asked often why we named Boston, Boston. People either really love her name or they say "oh, I have never heard that for a girl" which means they usually don't like it.

Well. I know that the not everyone is going to like it but we do and that is why we picked it. 

First off Boston was a name that Devin and I had been taking about since we were first dating. We both kind of mentioned it one day and it stuck so the moment that we found out we were pregnant I knew that if it was a girl her name would be Boston. There is no other reason behind it. Just that we liked it and had always planned on it.

Michelle on the other hand is a name that has so much significance to me and to Devin. I knew that when I had a girl one day that I wanted to name her after my mom. I love my mom, and I wanted to name my daughter after her. Not just because she is a spectacular mother but for so many more reasons. My mom is smart. She is one of the smartest women I know. I am always so proud to tell people that she is MY mom. She is beautiful, I swear as she gets older she just gets more and more beautiful, in fact people OFTEN ask me if she is my sister. She is kind, and loving. My mom is dedicated, and skilled. My mom is open minded. She is faithful. She loves her Savior Jesus Christ and she shows it in her actions each and every day. She is humble. My mom is good at everything she tries. She is optimistic. My mom is everything that I always wanted to be. I can't think of a better example for my daughter. **who would have known that the relationship she has with her grandma would be so special. She loves grandma so much**

Devin's sister's middle name is Michele, it may not be spelled the same as we spelled Boston's middle name but because it was Steph's name it was part of the reason why we picked it. Stephanie is also kind and intelligent. She is a wonderful friend and sister. Devin and I both admire her very much. Stephanie is so talented at so many things. She has courage and strength that I wish I had. She is a wonderful person and has since the first time I met her felt like my sister. She is a fabulous mother. Her girls love her so much and they are so lucky to have her as their mother. And I am so lucky to have her as my sister.

When we picked out Boston's middle name we picked it because we wanted her to have someone to look up to and admire and to constantly be reminded of what it meant to be a good woman. Who better as an example than her grandmother and her aunt. I love and admire both of these women in my life and they have helped me so much. I wanted Boston to know that she could always look up to them and that they would always be there to love and support her.

There are so many other wonderful women in Boston's life that she could be named after for similar reasons but these two women in particular stood out to me when we were picking names. I hope that Boston will grow up to be a wonderful, smart, beautiful, kind, friendly, and faithful woman like the ones that she was named after.
