Names
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!

Finally, I’ll provide personal tips for choosing names.
