Scarlett Lois WakayamaWe have searched high and low! Two totally opposite styles and preferences for names, and we finally have come to an agreement! And we both truly love the name we chose! Hope you do too! If not, say it about 50x and then it will stick! :) *thank you to brittany and others who gave us some GREAT ideas! it helped narrow things down. there are SO many cute baby girl names out there!
The story behind the name...
Yoichi and I went to Borders on a date night a month ago and searched thru baby book names. We both had a 3X5 card and wrote down names that we liked, separately. Yoichi came back with a list of 12 names, I had 3! Of Yo's 12, Scarlett was one of them. I didn't necessarily like the name Scarlett at first. Let's be honest, I didn't like any of the names Yo chose! haha.(and vice-versa) Back to the drawing board! 2 weeks later we were at Ocean Beach after dinner. Nix, Yoichi and I were jumping over waves, doing the "ocean dance"--- splashing around and I looked at Yoichi and said, "I can't get the name Scarlett out of my head today." He was shocked. Then I'm pretty sure 2 seconds later he said, "I picked that name!" haha. As if I was taking away his credit for naming the baby. 2 crashing waves later I found myself playing in the sand and I wrote Nixon and Scarlett's name in the wet sand. I have to admit from then on we both have grown to love this name for our little girl. In between these 2 weeks, we weren't 100% on the name Scarlett, but we have always been 100% on her middle name, Lois. Lois is my Grandma's name, and she has always had a special place in my life. I truly believe because of her and my Grandpa's faith in God I am a believer today. So during "limbo" time of confirming that Scarlett was THEE name, we started calling her "Lolo." You might here us refer to her as Lolo, a nickname that Nix really likes too! :)
Last but not least, we can't help but chuckle (and shudder with fear) at the meaning of her name. Scarlett means "red" and "passionate." Lois means "fierce warrior." Hmm... Passionate Fierce Warrior! Can you see why we're a bit scared!?
