Before we knew we were pregnant the kids played Narnia all the time. Simeon was Peter, Corrine was Susan, Ammon was Edmund and played without a Lucy.
When we told the kids that we were expecting Ammon right away started calling the baby Lucy. We told him that we didn't know if it was a girl or boy. Once we found out that we were having a girl we told the kids that her name would be Rebecca.
Rebecca is moms middle name Kari Rebecca. We both felt that Rebecca was a very fitting name for this sweet little girl even before meeting her.
We struggled with a middle name though. Many names we thought about were too long or they didn't flow right.
About a week before she was born we decided that Lucy was a perfect fit for her middle name. It flowed right and had significance since that is what she was called for so long.
We are asked alot if we'll shorten Rebecca to Becca or Becky, but we won't. She'll always be Rebecca or Rebecca Lucy.
After she was born we found out that Lucy is a family name on the Jenson side a handful of generations back.
