I've been asked how to pronounce Squirt's name. Just say it with a deep, rough voice, kind of the same way you'd say "Helga." Try it--"Eglah Botum!" Has a nice ring, eh? I've really had a lot of fun posting Squirt's name here. But really, my friends, would I name my child "Botum?" Maybe a better question would be, with my paranoia about posting personal info on the internet, would I put her real name here?
So the truth comes out. We picked up her birth certificate yesterday, and alas, Eglah Botum is not on it. Her first name is the same as Moses' sister in the bible. If you don't remember the story, you should read it--such a sweet, tender sister! Her middle name is the same as D's mom's middle name. D's mom happens to be our favorite sister missionary who is serving right now and we wanted to honor her. I'm hoping to send out an email spelling it all out more clearly, but I don't get much done these days, so we'll see when that happens!

I love it! I had to do some research to find out who Moses' sister is. Beautiful name! And I have to say I'm relieved!
Seriously!! I totally believed you!! I was just hoping the pronunciation of the name wasn't what I thought. ;) hahaha... you're hillarious. I had to look up what Moses' sister's name was too and it is definitely a lovely name!
yes, I too thought you were a bit crazy....but I did question if you would put the name up on the internet.
I love Moses' sister's name. It was one that I suggested.....I love bible names.
I don't have the slightest idea what D's mom's middle name is, but I am quite certain it is a better name than Botum.
Take care!
