Today, September 12th is the Memorial of the Most Holy Name of Mary.
I’m taking a break from the Lourdes Series to write about something connected to this day: names.
I’ve recently become interested in this topic. So much so that I keep an ongoing list of names that I like. There are enough on the list for a small army!
I enjoy learning the meaning of names. I also enjoy hearing about how they are chosen.
First, I’ll briefly explain the feast.
Then, I’ll share an explanation of the importance of names.
Finally, I’ll provide personal tips for choosing names.
Saint Benedict the Holy Moor
While cleaning out my room recently, I came across an essay I wrote in sixth grade!

The Little Flower and One Small Rose
I have to tell you, I’m excited about this blog! I’m truly grateful for all of the support and encouragement I’ve received from family and friends.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it is to me; so thank you!
Now for the explanation of the name. (I know, I know, you’ve been waiting on the edge of your seat for this.)
Once I felt that God was calling me to start a blog, one of my first thoughts was that I needed to choose a name.
I’m a perfectionist, so this sort of task would normally take me a long time to accomplish.
I often don’t feel comfortable with a decision or action unless I feel it’s completed “perfectly” (which I know sounds ridiculous because “perfect” does not exist).
