The first step was picking a name for our daughter and naming the blog similarly. Unfortunately my enthusiasm for Hammerstryke (aka Hammie) was only shared by my father so after much deliberation we settled on the next best thing, naming our child...
Nalani Joy Kearney
The process of picking the name took awhile as we wanted to get to know our little girl before christening her. Our favorite pre-birth girl name was Ellia but upon meeting our little bundle of joy we almost immediately decided it just didn't fit. It did take us 8 days to choose her name which I think is quite good considering Sweden gives you 3 months to decide. I of course called our daughter Hammie for the duration or her first week of life and now it has stuck. So while Nalani Joy Kearney is her name, I will continue to affectionately refer to my daughter as Hammie, beginning what is sure to be a lifetime of pig jokes and deep emotional scaring.
The name list the sat on our refrigerator until recently
nalani is a beautiful name. looking forward to seeing more of her (and you guys) around here soon! also, i think hammie is an awesome nickname -- and while middle school may be tough, she'll be way cool in college.
