SOFIA CAROLINEI wanted to write about our sweet baby's name and how we came up with it. We both had a hard time deciding on a name for this little one. My first pregnancy that sadly ended in miscarriage was also a girl and we had a list of ten names we liked. This time none of them worked. The one name I had always been stuck on was no longer available for my use so we had to move on. One thing is that I love talking about names and could for hours and often. It seems as if we talked in circles and just made up silly names. We both felt that when we saw her we would know what her name was and came prepared at the hospital. I Love her name. This was very vitally important to me since I knew I was only going to have 2 children. I LOVE my son's name, Noah Lawrence. It brings happy shivers to my heart when I hear it or think about it. I wanted my daughters name to be the same. And it is, for both Kersten and I. We both could care less that it is in the top names right now. We spell it different and now I will tell you why. Pic was taken when she was 3 months old. So little
SOFIA- 3-syllable girl's name of Greek/Norse origin, means: Wisdom.
This name is a family name way back on both sides.
-On Kersten's side of the family he has a Sofia spelled with a Ph instead of an F. On his Grandfather Rolf's side this is Kerstens' Great Great Great Grandmother, She was married to Josef Carl and was born in May of 1848 in Kraiistad Hungary and had one child, also name Josef Franz Carl F*
-Sofia is a name that goes way back on my grandfather side. I sadly cannot find my group sheets anywhere. I will edit this later to get my info more indepth later.
CAROLINE-a 3-syllable girl's name of Latin/Saxon origin, means: Little womanly one; joy.
- the first and best reason we had this be her middle name was my best friend Caroline Howell. We met when we were 15 and have stayed best friends ever since. I love her name and I love her. Thanks again Care for all that you do, for the person you are and all that you have taught me. She is officially now her Godmother. Yes, in our religion we don't have godparents. But both of my children do. Basically we wanted them to each have a very close, important, very special adult that they could count on and love that is not their parent. I know Caroline will be great, Sofia already loves her lots.
-This is also a family name on both sides. Kersten's family has two Caroline's both spelt with a C. Both of them are on his Grandmother Christel's side. Sadly, I am having a hard time figuring out how they connect all the way to us. I have an easier time with the family trees than the family group sheets. I will do more research and figure this out. The first Caroline was born on Noah's birthday in 1814 in Muelfrath Thineland Germany and she was married to Peter and had six children. Gustaw, Mathilde, Emma, Carl, Fannie and Hulda. The other Caroline was on his grandmother's father's side and was born in 1822 in Goldup, East Prussia, Germany.
-My grandfather Lawrence, (whom I am named after and also Noah's middle name) his mother, Lina her mothers's name is Karolina Sophie. Wow, huh, I knew her name is Karolina but I found out just last week that her middle name was Sophie
