Alot of people think that Cora Jane came from mine and Cory's name together but that just isn't the way it happened. In fact, CJ is named after my great aunt for whom I am named after. Her name was Cora Jane but she was called Janie. There was never any doubt that CJ was going to be our first little girl's name. Cory and I loved it and decided on it when we were still dating. Its a beautiful, unique, family name that fits our little red head to a T!!
Vera Katherine is our second little girl. Vera was my husband's grandma's name (with whom he was very close with) and it was also his older sister's name that passed away when she was just a little girl. Katherine came from my side of the family it was my aunt's middle name. She passed away when she was baby and well I just LOVE the name Katherine.
When we found out we were pregnant with our third little girl I wanted Lila as a first name. My great aunt's name was Lily and so we just modified it a little. And I have ALWAYS loved the name Rae. Several of my great aunts have this in their names and I had to use it. So our precious angel is Lila Rae.
Well Mr. Man through us a curve ball and we had NO idea what little boy name we were gonna use!! We had boy names picked out before but threw those out and wanted something else. Whitman Allen came from my great great aunt's maiden name and my husband's middle name. When my mom told Cory the name Whitman that was it.....that's the name that he liked! And I wanted some of Cory in the name and that's were Allen came in!
I don't know if we'll have any more kids, but I will always LOVE putting together baby names!
