What's In A Name

River: We both have our own reasons why we like River. Chris suggested it because she is a character in Serenity. I agreed to it because, like my daughter, rivers are strong, beautiful and destined for great things.

Isabella: 1. It's really pretty and I love it.
             2. I didn't want it to be her first name since it is so common
             3. It shortens into nicknames, unlike River
             4. It separates her two "R" names so they flow :)
          
Rae: My mother's middle name. It's really pretty and I love the spelling. My mom has been very supportive and I wanted to give my daughter part of her name. Also, Terrapin's middle name, Ruth, is after Chris' mom. So we have: Cassia Rose, Terrapin Ruth and River I Rae.


Frazier: Of the Strawberry clan! Chris' last name. She may not have red hair, but we will be buying stock in sunscreen ;).
