"What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"


That Billy Shakespeare had some great lines....Anyway back to the topic at hand why is Rosie, well Rosie??? It's a very simple explanation, it's because she is a girl. If she were a boy she would have been Aiden Patrick, but she is a she and she is Rosie Mae. Now, how did Ryan and I come up with that lovely name? It was actually very simple and we agreed rather quickly on it.
Why Rosie Mae is Rosie Mae:
1. My G-ma Shirley always called me Rosie
2. Because Rose is my middle name (And Aunt Eileen's)
3. Because my G-ma Patrick's name was Rose (same reason)
4. My Mom's middle name is Mae
5. Ryan's Mom's middle name is Mae
6. There are a number of women on all sides of the family who have either the name Rose (1st or middle) and the middle name of Mae and I am glad our little Rosie has a connection to all of them.
