We thought Leah Helen–an “L” for a favorite grandparent, and “Helen” for two great-grandmothers. We expected we name her with her first-parents, but she was born before we even met them. They named her Leandra (her first-mom’s middle name, which shortens to “Lea” very easily) Helen (a first-great-grandmother) Johnson (her first-parents last names–and my maiden name). All we had to do was tag on our last name and call it a day!
