This is my first namesake (AKA Godchild), Hallie Jane. She's a DOLL, isn't she? I was thrilled when Cousin Angie called me and told me that not only was she expecting a girl, but that she would be named Hallie Jane! This started me thinking about how great it is to name a child after me, so I thought I'd make a list.
*Baby Jane can expect to get all sorts of attention from me.
*I'm officially obligated to throw a baby shower!
*Lucky Baby Jane gets free outfits everytime I go baby clothes shopping.
*As Janey grows up, I will take her on special trips to places like:
-The mall to buy cute clothes and accessories
-The zoo to see the giraffes
-Disneyworld to experience the magic
-The park to look at flowers and swing on the swings!
-The salon to get haircuts
-Modern Nails to get Mani/Pedis and learn all things feminine
*Automatic confidant for Little Janey to tell Auntie Janey about all her boy crushes
*I reserve email account names for all Jane's named after me. Hallie is especially appreciative to have her email account, and her mom just loves getting emails from Hallie.
In short, there just really isn't anything bad that could happen from naming your child after me. Jane is a great name. It's coming back pretty vogue, but also has an old fashioned "named after my grandma" sort of feel. (Which, I actually WAS named after, and I love being named after her!)
So all of you out there who are having girls anytime soon (and all who hope to in the future), think about it!! ;)

Oh, she looks like Angie's baby! And what a lovely thing for her to have you as her...is it great aunt? And to be named after you. Darling! So if I have another baby...? Well, I'm not, but if I did...!
You are way too funny. Hallie Jane is a pretty lucky lil baby to have you for a godmother.
