the name game

A few tidbits about her name :)

• 'Mary' is supposed to just be a nice name, a Christmas name, but not necessarily named after Mary the Mother of Jesus -- or because it means 'bitter'. (?)
• Corrie is named after her great grandma Cora Graber, who also has a sister named Mary. Coincidence, really, but a nice one :)
• She will probably not be called "MJ" like in Spiderman.
• Mary J. Powell is not related to Mary J. Blige.
• Noel Powell rhymed, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
• Added bonus: Carrie's middle name is Marie.
  

Merry Christmas from the Powells!

The announcement of Jesus' birth can be found in Luke chapter 2. The announcement of another birth will hopefully be found right here on our blog in the next few days! All the clues for her name can be found above. ;)
