what's in a name?

I fell in love with the name Kennedy before Doug and I were married.  Since all of Doug's family has Gaelic names, my chosen girl's name was another sign that our marriage was meant to be.  It wasn't until I was 7 or 8 months pregnant, and we had already announced our baby girl's name to everyone on the planet when we decided to look up the meaning of our chosen name.

Kennedy: helmeted head, deformed head, ugly head

Oops.

We decided that we still loved the name and that some ancient definition of the name wasn't going to stop us.

Fast forward 2 months.  Kennedy is born.  Hello beautiful.  She most certainly does not have an ugly head.

Fast forward 4 more months.  The doctor informs us that Kennedy has quite a flat spot or a "deformed head" and may, in fact, need be a "helmet head" for awhile.

Sorry Kennedy.  Our bad.
