We will call her Savannah.
I've been thinking about a girl name for quite some time since we were pretty sure the baby was going to be a girl. We originally were going to name her Mary Claire and call her the double name, but then I decided that I didn't want to take the chance of her name being split up and just going by Mary. SO...I decided to come up with another girl name that I LOVE even more and that name is Savannah! I've always loved the name Savannah but wasn't sure that I'd ever get to use it and now I do! Chase likes her name as well so that is a plus. I had decided that I was getting to name this baby pretty much on my own since I didn't have much say in Brantley's name. I love Brantley's name and what it means or rather whom she's named after, I just didn't have a choice. Claire is Chase's choice for the middle name and I love how it sounds with Savannah.
Savannah's name has no family ties or special meanings other than the fact that we just love her name.
I just checked BehindtheName.com just for grins to see what the
meanings are behind Savannah and Claire.
Savannah comes from the English word for a large grassy plain. Not that great of a meaning but I still love the name so much.
Claire was a little harder to find a meaning behind. Claire is a variant of the name Clara, which is the feminine form of the Late Latin name Clarus which meant "clear, bright, famous". Maybe Savannah Claire will be famous one day or at least smart and bright.
