My Mairyn

I think it's time for Mairyn to get some attention in the spotlight. She is one great girl. She brings such life and spirit to our family. Mairyn is quite a special name. I knew I was having a girl before we found out on the ultrasound. I was having a hard time picking names. Spencer was studiously searching for boys names. I was looking for both boy and girl and I stumbled upon Maren. I remembered having heard the name before in high school. So I looked up the meaning of the name. I found so many different spellings, but only one meaning that wasn't a derivative of something else. Mairin is Irish Gaelic and means 'wished for child'. I told Spencer that this was this baby's name. Spencer wanted to change the last "i" to a "y" and there you have it. Mairyn, our wished for child!
