We've decided on the names for our girls...

Sachiyo and I have decided, with help from the Grandmas on both sides what the girls names will be. *

One of the girls will be named Sion (pronounced "she-on") - The Japanese word for a Tatarian Aster (That is a flower-pictured below- for those of you that are horticulturally challenged). It is also the Japanese pronunciation of "Zion."



The other girl will be named Hana (not Hannah, pronounced "Hah nah"..OK, that doesn't make it much clearer.....call me and I'll tell you how to pronounce it OK?) - Japanese for flower

These names give the girls a little bit of a connection without saddling them with rhyming names and are pretty and pronounceable in both languages.

We are not planning on giving the girls middle names.
