Our Baby-Girl to be name

Gw lagi suka berhayal nih..hihih..bukan berhayal yang macem2..mungkin lebih tepatnya untuk "merencanakan" nama baby kami nanti..hihihi..walopun belum hamil dan punya plan dalam waktu dekat kan ga papa ya persiapinnya dari sekarang..wong my dad said that He had already prepared for my name " Grace" since He was at the college and the fact, He got me as the 3rd baby! what a quite long journey to get me!!...hihihi..

Waktu gw ngunjungin ponakan gw yang baru lahir Sabtu kemarin, gw ditanyain ama sepupu ipar gw itu. "Lo pengennya punya baby cewe ato cowo" nah lo gw ga bisa jawab ..kadang gw pengen cewe karna bajunya lucu2 atau cowo biar gampang ngurusnya..hehe..

Hmm setelah dipikir-pikir sih gw pengen kalo dikasi Tuhan nanti untuk punya anak paling banyak 2 sajah ( walopun my mom pernah komplain..kurang banyak, katanya! ) dan untuk baby yang pertama sih gw maunya Laki Laki ya..karna gw pengen dia bisa jadi pemimpin dalam keluarga gantiin His Dad nanti..sekaligus bisa nelindungin adenya ( nah untuk yang bontot gw pengen perempuan..mudah2han aja dia ga manja kaya gw..hihi) sedangkan My beloved hubby pengen anak laki-laki supaya ada yang nemenin dia main PlayStation!!!!! boys will be boys syndrome!!

Nah, untuk nama baby laki2 nanti gw belum ada rencana sih..kadang pengen kasi nama Matthew, kadang pengen kasi nama yang initial namanya sama ama His Daddy..tapi satu yang pasti baby boy to be akan banyak dapat sumbangan nama dari His Ompung Boru&Doli and ga ketinggalan His Oma&Opa..

Berbeda dikit ama nama Our Baby Girl to be, gw udah dari dulu suka nyiapin..waktu SMP dulu ( genit ya gw, masih SMP aja udah rencanain nama Baby,,hihi) Gw suka nama "Caroline" yang sering gw pake kalo nulis cerpen ilegal..eh pas gw kuliah dapet dosen plus "bos" gw yang namanya Caroline...hmm She is so smart, independent and cheerful... makin nimbulin kecintaan gw ama nama tadi

Tapi lama2 gw ilfeel juga ama nama diatas..ga tau kenapa, gw berbalik ama nama2 dari Alkitab..tadinya gw suka banget ama nama Tabitha..tapi rupanya udah dikasi Mami mertua ke ponakan gw, abis itu gw juga suka nama Abigail!! mudah2han sih nanti nama ini ga " di book" dulu ama keluarga deket gw..hehe..

Well kenapa Abigail?? first, It sounds very soft, unique and feminine ( ga tau bener ato engga, that what I feel)

Second, the life of Abigail in the Bible, it shows the good serve of the wife..may be you can see the conclusion here:

Abigail is the wife of Nabal; later David's wife. Abigail's first husband, Nabal, was a wealthy man, but "harsh and evil in his doings". After the death of the prophet Samuel, David and his men moved into the area of Carmel in the Hebron mountains, where Nabal's flocks were pastured, and they protected Nabal's property. Hearing that Nabal was giving a sheepshearing feast, David requested that he and his men be invited. Following Nabal's refusal, David decided to use force. Abigail, hearing of this, took food supplies and rode out to meet David to convince him not to take vengeance and to prevent bloodshed. Returning home, Abigail waited for her husband to sober up from a drunken feast, and then informed him of her actions. "Nabal's heart die within him, and he became like a stone." He died ten days later. When this news reached David, he sent for Abigail and married her (I Sam chap. 25). Abigail accompanied David throughout his wanderings and was with him at Hebron when he became king (I Sam 27:3; 30:5). She bore him a son, Chileab, who is also called Daniel (II Sam 2:2; 3:3; I Chr 3:1). (http://www.answers.com/topic/abigail)

In the Bible, we could see that Abigail was :

1) She was a wise woman – She recognized the need to humble herself and intercede for her people before David and was willing to do so (1 Samuel 25:28).

2) She was a courageous woman – Abigail risked her life, firstly by not telling her husband of her plans. In those times women were their husband’s property. Nabal was a wealthy man (vs. 2) – she could have lost everything – even her life, for taking matters into her own hands. Secondly, going to meet David was very risky – can you imagine riding into that mountain ravine on a donkey (1 Samuel 25:20) and coming towards you are 400 men with swords and an angry leader at their head? (1 Samuel 25:13). But Abigail was a courageous woman and her motive was to plead for the lives of others – she didn’t think of herself – she was prepared to die.

3) She was a prophetic woman – Abigail spoke prophetic words to David. David realized this and as a result much bloodshed was averted that day (1 Samuel 25:33).

4) She Was a faithful woman – She believed in God and spoke forth His message to David (1 Samuel 25:26). Abigail was rewarded for her faithfulness – she became wife to David, the future King (1 Samuel 25:42

so I do hope that she gonna be the source of our joy and our Heavenly Father's Joy

All of them are a few reason why I like that name..maybe our baby to be will be called " Abby (but my husband complains this because it sounds like a food made of Shrimp here..! ) but I like to pronounce it as British English which is called "(:abbiey:)" instead of "(:ebbiey:) even tough my hubby said its sounds as a name of babby boy here!

For the last, I want to put my "name" as the second part of hers..maybe I will put Gracia (:greizia:) which is the other form of my name..my hubby ever complains because I just put my name instead of His! ..ok ok baby, you can put whatever name that you like over Her!..hehe
