Name Game

We chose to make a list of three name options and wait to pick the right one once you arrived.
After a while, your father and I both started calling you the same name separately in our heads. And it stuck.

Gemma Rose Yetton

Daddy (brilliantly) brought the name Gemma to the table. And I fell in love instantly. You were meant to be our gem. Our precious gem.

Rose was a name suggested by my mother; your Ammie. It was taken from her side of the family. Sweet. Feminine. Rose.

We weren't sold on this combination right away but when Dad sent the playlist he made for my labor and it included Gem Club's latest record In Roses, something clicked. Suddenly your name has even more meaning (to me).
