Her name is Emma Adeline. Emma is for her maternal grandmother. Adeline was my great grandmother's name and she was called Addie. My family is very big on traditional names. The oldest male of each generation is named "Louis" (usually as a middle name as my son & I are). A tradition that began when our ancestors were german mercanaries for Napolean and were exiled. My oldest daughter is Elizabeth Christine, both names date back to our part of the family from Bavaria.
The only one not in the tradition is my "adoptive" daughter. Even though she Native American, she has a very traditional Irish name which fits in great with my mother's side of the family. I know, too much info but I'm so proud of my kids
