While we considered using Jane as a first name, it ultimately felt better as a middle name. Eliza will almost certainly be my parents&#8217; last grandchild, and now their first grandchild (my niece) and their last share my mom&#8217;s first name as their middle name. My mom is so happy about her &#8220;bookend&#8221; grandchildren. In a fun twist, we had already decided on the name Eliza, and then had a (wonderful!) L&#038;D nurse named Eliza take care of me during delivery! It felt meant to be. Luke and Noah are absolutely in love with their baby sister. Thanks to all of the commenters for the wonderful suggestions, they were so helpful as we narrowed down our list!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swistle.com\/babynames\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EJ.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"281\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swistle.com\/babynames\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EJ.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.swistle.com\/babynames\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EJ-120x150.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
