What's in a name?

Ever since we found out we are pregnant, Nate has loved and insisted on the name Ashley. I, on the other hand was not so sure. I had thought of a few boy names that I liked, but when we found out we are having a girl, I couldn't think of anything that I liked. Eventually, I threw out a couple of names and Nate thought they would be good middle names. The more I thought about it, Ashley grew on me (and in me).  :)  I threw out Grace as a possible middle name and Nate loved it, so we have recently decided that her name will be Ashley Grace Mathews. Ashley means beautiful and in some books it means meadow, hence the name of the blog, Beautiful Meadow.
