So...I have loved hearing how some of my friends came up with the names for their little ones, so I thought I would share how Taija got her name! Since I was little I have always liked the name Anastasia and dreamed of the day when I had a little girl of my own to name her that. But when I married Justin he vetoed the name! Claiming that it's a Russian name that American's pronounce wrong (he served his mission in Russia). I begged and begged, but he was pretty firm on hating the pronounciation. So...we compromised and just took the last part of the name...hence Taija (we figured out a spelling that hopefully if one sounds it out they will say it right)! Taija's middle name is Ane...yes spelled A N E, but pronounced Ann. My middle name is the same my mom liked it spelt that way because it is different - you will have to ask her for further clarification!

Isn't there a movie Anastasia? I don't remember what it's about, but that's what I thought about when you said that. I love the name Taija though. I even had a student named Taija and I still like it. I'm glad you got half your way. :P
I enjoy hearing abt how people come up with names, too. Tajia is a cute name and it fits her so well! Some day I'll have to have Justin pronounce Anastasia like the Russians do, just to hear the difference!:)
I love her name and think that the way you spelt it is so cute!!
I love her name too, it fits her perfectly. What is with husbands and shooting down our names? Wayne has only approved like 1/5 of my name choices! Good thing we are not planning on have a dozen kids, we could never name them all. Hope things are going well for you guys.
