What's in a name?

After we found out we were having a girl, Siena and I started discussing names. Siena made up a couple of "names", and then suggested "Leila." That name immediately hit home for me, as is reminded me of my best friend Mijken's sweet boy Leland who had recently passed away. With her permission, we went ahead with the name Leila. I feel like they were kindred spirits before and after Leland's passing. It's comforting to know they both had a little buddy on the other side :)
