And Her Name Shall Be... Drumroll...

Ruby Delilah Greider

Ruby Delilah Greider

Sorry, everyone, for the hold up, but the umbilical cord just fell off, and kola nut is harder to find than you'd think. Now we can file with the State and insurance company, and most importantly, our church secretary for inclusion in the bulletin.

As for meaning, like our other four, it's slim at best. Ruby was recommended by the ever-lovely and gracious Karen Lacy, and we love Karen Lacy very much... so... And Delilah is Biblical, of course. Sure, a little edgy, to say the least. But that's kind of why it appeals to Hallie and me. Not to mention, I loved the song by the Plain White T's, and can still sing it to her, just substituting "Ruby" for "Hey there". And believe, she's shines brighter than Times Square!

PS - Thanks, everyone, for the name suggestions. We're grateful and would use them all if we could. Well, maybe not Zelda. But all the others, yes.

What?!? Zelda rocks!

Mary and I knew a Zelda; she was a great girl. I think she ended up married the WVU quarterback.

We were kinda hoping for Hephzibah, but Ruby is very nice. Congratulations!

I agree with Jon - Zelda rocks!

But Ruby is very nice, too ... it's just that there might not be as many Nintendo games named after Ruby as there would be Zelda, lol.
