Okay so I figured I would let everyone know how Cailleigh got her name. I am scotch irish and my dh has irish background too so we wanted a celtic name(read I wanted it and convinced him he did too) and we decided Cailleigh which can mean musical gathering, stones, or slender depending on the area you are talking about, it just seemed perfect. We wanted something that represented what we hoped she would be--strong and solid(stones) slender, and with a melodious personality. Okay so kinda superficial but I liked it. Now her middle names are Mary Grace, so to get them I knew Matt hates the name Nicole(one of his exes has that name) so I told him I had narrowed it to Cailleigh Mary or Cailleigh Nicole and let him "pick" then I decided Grace was beautiful with it and his mother's side is very Catholic as is my dad's so we got all our heritage family and our faith(family is Mary my granny on my mom's side and his mom's middle name, well a variation--it's Marie) and the faith was the grace. So I may have cheated an eensy weensy bit, LOL but it suits her very well.
