I had to balance that against your warm wishes -- always harder to evaluate tone from an anonymous voice. But no, she certainly wasn't named for speakers (had to look up what you meant) or city (ditto), altho' she probably will inherit musicality. Nola is a diminuitive of Fionnula, an Irish name.<BR/>Thanks, Patricia. We love it as well. It was a fairly recent replacement for the longstanding "girl's name" which didn't work anymore after a best friend gave her new little one a rhyming name. Just a bit too cute to have the two little girls' names rhyme. And she has my name as her middle name, and it all bounces along delightfully into her dad's surname. Of course, everything about her is delightful!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-18536760525555678002008-11-25T02:15:00.000-08:002008-11-25T02:15:00.000-08:00Nola, what a lovely name.
