Our Baby's Name

Our baby girl is going to have the name Kiana (say it like Key-On-Nuh).

We picked this name because Joe being Samoan, we wanted a Samoan or Hawaiian name somewhere in her name. (He has Hawaiians in his family too & Samoans & Hawaiians use pretty much the same names for the most part).

Joe has a huge family & I thought there would be no name left that hasn't been used. LOL. But my Dad was watching tv & saw this fitness Hawaiian woman named Kiana & he told us about it & me & Joe just fell in love with it right away.

Not only is it a pretty name, but no one in Joe's family (at least no one that we have met) has the name so that was a total plus.

I have looked up the meaning of the name & its the Hawaiian form of Diana. But I have read a few places that it means "Heaven" or "Heavenly" but then a few places don't give a meaning. So whether it means "Heavenly" or not, we love the name & its a great name for our little Princess.

Now as far as the middle name goes, we are going back & forth on that. I have always liked when girls have boy names & I originally wanted her first name to be a boyish name but when we found we liked Kiana, we thought we could do a cute boy middle name.

The 2 we thought of are Rei (say it like Ray) & Jo (after her Daddy).

Kiana Jo or Kiana Rei

We switch back & forth on the middle name & I think once we see he were are just going to know & decidde right then & there.

I love having her name already picked out because I feel like its made a bit of a stronger bond for me & my  baby girl in my tummy. I already want her here because I am already in love with her & I can't wait to officially meet her!
