I finally told her namesake what her name would be. I didn't get to do it in person, but I could tell that she was thrilled. And I am so glad that I could do this.
Julia is my grandmother
Rae is my mother's middle name, after her grandfather
They are both strong, beautiful women that I cherish, and I know this name will bring my daughter good fortune.
I thought about giving her my middle name, Ruth... but as it is another family name it has been used many times already. Initials J R are common in my family.. I'm excited to continue it!

What a beautiful name. I just found your blog through Just for Jillian. I too am adopting from China and live in NJ.
I love it! Now, if we can just get you off that waiting list....
What a beautiful name....and even more so for the special women who inspired it!
I love that name! I had a Julia in my class two years ago and she was such a neat girl. It's a classy name, and it obviously has a deep, personal meaning for you! Awesome!
Julia Rae is a gorgeous name!! I just love "J" names and naming your child after special people in your life is so meaningful.
Hi Kristen
Found your blog through my other blogger buds Connie and Joannah. I love your daughter's name. My daughter will also have a namesake. She will share the same middle name with my sister.
Can't find an e-mail link for you. Curious about your agency & the waiting list. I want to pass along some agency info to you. Go to my blog and use my e-mail link to drop me a line. :)
Hi -I think this is my first time to comment on your blog. I wanted to say that is a beautiful name and a wonderful tribute for your daughter to carry on the names of such special people in your life.
That is beautiful!
Wow.... How wonderful that your daughter will be named after two significant strong people!!! I love the name!!!
