Call Me Davi

After much debate and consternation we have a name for MeiMei: Davyn Augusta Jiying. OK, it's a bit of a mouthful. We'll call her Davi for short.

The name honors the memory of her two grandfathers. Davyn is a form of David, which means "beloved," for Paw Paw Dave, her paternal grandfather. Augusta,which means "great'' or "magnificent," is an attempt to capture, the name of her maternal grandfather or Papou, Gus, in feminine form, although he was a Kostas rather than an August.

We called Grandma Connie first to share the news, then Grandma YiaYia.

Somewhere two grandpas must be smiling.
