Naming the baby


Our poor child was known as "Baby girl Hubbard" for a whole day! Although we were pretty sure that we had a girl's name that we liked even prior to delivery, we wanted to make sure that the name fit the baby so we waited overnight to be certain. In the morning we let everyone know that we had decided to name her Samantha Lee Hubbard. We liked Samantha because it has so many cute nicknames. We now call her Sam, Samo or Sambo (among other less kind names...) The middle name Lee has special significance for both side of our family. On the Hughes side, Lee is both my and my mother's middle name (Jamie Lee and Sharon Lee). On the Hubbard side, Lee is Kirk's dad's and his oldest brother's middle name (Harry Lee and Eric Lee). So the middle name was easy regardless of whether the baby was a boy or a girl!
