Earnest Olive. I was not necessarily planning to have children myself. And I had never really thought about baby names until I was actually pregnant, and her name came to us in a few ways at once. About 6 or 7 years ago my boyfriend, Patrick, had a painting commissioned for my birthday by a local sign painter and it was the word EARNEST. It is one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever received. He knew how important this character trait was to me; it’s how I hope to conduct myself in the world and a trait that I admire in others. I think of the word 'earnest' to mean sincere, forthright, honest, heartfelt, and without guise. As a joke, my boyfriend also happened to nickname our baby 'Ernest,' as in Ernest Goes To Camp, in The Bump app, which we were using to track the baby's growth and laugh at the odd vegetable comparisons to the baby’s size. I thought that spelled out as Earnest, I would actually love to name our daughter that. And I would say that she has already, at four months, begun to live up to her name and she is quite the earnest little person. Her middle name, Olive, is in tribute to my beloved dog Oliver who was the most earnestly sweet pit-lab mix, who died at 14 of cancer when I was (yet to know) three weeks pregnant. Oliver is the one who taught me the most about love, and about showing up, and being my best self for someone else. So, it felt appropriate. Olive is also a family name on my boyfriend’s dad’s side, so it makes for a little bit more predictable of a story as opposed to 'well my child is named after my dog,' It depends on who we are telling! We realize that she will be asked about her name throughout her life, and often perhaps assumed to be a boy. But since she did not get my last name, DeCoudreaux, I am passing along the character building experience of having an unusual name and hope that it will make her strong, sturdy, and earnest! If she hates us for naming her Earnest she can go by Olive. But until then, she has the best nickname—Earnie." For more on Molly, her family, and her work, check out her Instagram feed.

Skylar Rowan and Stella Quinn. In my late twenties, I had a pretty intense bout of baby fever and compiled a list of baby names for my future kids. 'Skylar' was my top pick. I was so possessive about it, I made it known to all my friends that that’s what my firstborn would be named, regardless if it were a boy or girl. Silly, I know. Fast-forward to my first pregnancy: When I proposed the name to my husband, he loved it right away—not only because 'Skylar' is such a pretty name, but also because it started with an 'S,' just like Sebastian, his son. 'Skylar and Sebastian'—so cute. Her middle name, Rowan, was also on my list. We chose it for its Celtic roots (my husband is part Scottish) and because we felt it was a strong name that balanced out the airy qualities of her first name. As for Stella, I was secretly hoping for a boy and wanted to name him 'Stellan,' but was prepared to use 'Stella' if it turned out to be a girl. Stella means 'star' and that goes well with her sister 'Sky' and also started with an 'S' like Sebastian. We wanted to keep it uniform at this point! Lastly, 'Quinn' is another name that was high on my list that my husband also really liked, mainly because of the song 'Mighty Quinn,' written by Bob Dylan, and so far, little baby Stella Quinn is living up to her mighty name."

Frances 'Frankie' Louise Efua. Yes, she has two middle names. Frankie has always been a name I love and adore, so when we got pregnant, we wanted to name our daughter a name in which we could use Frankie as a nickname. We thought of Francine, Francesca, and Frances. We finally settled on Frances (of Latin origin) because it felt right and it means 'From France, or Free Man.' My husband and I both love France, so that made it an easy choice for us. We were also inspired by Frances Harper and the work she did for African American and women's rights. Frances has a lightness and warmness to it, yet powerful. Louise is just a beautiful name that flowed well with Frances/Frankie. It is of French and English origin and it means 'renowned warrior.' Efua, which is also my name, is of Ghanaian origin. Ghanaians are usually named after the day they were born. Since Frankie was born on a Friday, just like I was, she was named Efua, too. I wanted to keep my Ghanaian heritage and instill some into little miss Frankie Louise, and this starts by giving her a traditional Ghanaian name. It also makes it extra special to share a name with her."

Quinn Heyrana and Rowan Heyrana. Both of their middle names are my last name. Honestly, when it came to girl names we had a hard time. Ultimately it was a personal connection that helped us decide. My husband and I would write down names we liked and put them on the fridge. Nothing really stuck. My mom who lives in North Virginia would call and check how I was doing. She's a nurse and knew I was having a tough time with my pregnancy. Our relationship grew even closer during this time. More and more I wanted a name that somehow honored her. She is the strongest and most caring woman I know. One of her nicknames is 'Quints' in college because her maiden name is Quintos. We did a little bit of a modern twist and chose Quinn for our oldest daughter. I love the way it sounds and how it carries so much strength. I told my husband and he immediately said 'That's her name, it's perfect.' With our second daughter, I would go on these hikes by myself. I had hyperemesis, was nauseous all the time, and it brought me comfort to be in nature. On one hike I saw this tree with red berries, it stood out because it was the only one there. I love the color red and being part Chinese it symbolized something more to me. Also a year ago, I didn't think this pregnancy would be possible. I remember going back to find this tree and have my lunch. Another hiker came by and said 'Hi, I see you're enjoying this Rowan Tree. You know they symbolize strength, courage, and protection. Perfect for you, I think.' That was so sweet and something I needed to hear. I was 7 months pregnant and definitely showing. The more I read about the Rowan Tree the more it carried a deeper meaning. As soon as she was born, my husband said 'She definitely looks like a Rowan to me.'"

One of her nicknames is 'Quints' in college because her maiden name is Quintos. We did a little bit of a modern twist and choseQuinn.对于我们最古老的女儿。我喜欢它的声音以及它如何实现这么多的力量。我告诉我的丈夫，他立即说'那是她的名字，这是完美的。和我们的第二个女儿一起，我会自己继续这些徒步旅行。我过度模糊，一直恶心，它给我带来了安慰。在一个徒步旅行中，我看到这棵树用红色浆果，它脱颖而出，因为它是那里唯一的一个。我喜欢红色的颜色，成为中国人，它象征着更多的东西。同样的一年前，我不认为这个怀孕是可能的。我记得回去找到这棵树并享用午餐。另一个徒步旅行者来了，说'嗨，我看到你享受这个罗文树。 You know they symbolize strength, courage, and protection. Perfect for you, I think.' That was so sweet and something I needed to hear. I was 7 months pregnant and definitely showing. The more I read about the Rowan Tree the more it carried a deeper meaning. As soon as she was born, my husband said 'She definitely looks like a Rowan to me.'"

Wilder Thomas Hollister is our oldest, he is six. Thomas is my grandfather’s name and my dad’s middle name. Hollister is Colin’s (my husband) middle name and a family name. Wilder is a name rooted in nature, the frontier, a time past. Wilder is just who he was when we laid eyes on him—and it still suits him perfectly today. Shepard Baxter is 4 1/2-years-old and our youngest son. Shepard comes from a verse in a hymn my aunt shared with me while I was going through a complication in my pregnancy with Wilder. I had a blood clot that was threatening the pregnancy that thankfully self-resolved after eight long and difficult weeks. My aunt told me she would sing the hymn in Sunday school with my mom. 'Shepard show me how to go' was the line that, for me, meant to surrender to a higher power, and to trust and have faith in the path of your life. I am not religious, but I have always felt warm and fuzzy and spiritual around my very loving, very inclusive, very Christian Scientist aunt (she officiated our wedding) and it was the perfect spiritual guidance that I needed to help me move forward. I knew I wanted 'Shepard' to be a part of our family and when we found out we were pregnant with our second son I was so excited to use this very special name in a new context. Our youngest is Josephine Margaret Prairie, and we call her 'Prairie.' She is 4 months old. When we first found out we were pregnant, I had accepted that my fantasy of having a girl was probably not going to be a part of my life. But I was beyond thrilled when I found out our third, and most likely final baby, was a girl. I knew I wanted Margaret included in her name because it is my sister/best friend/business partner’s name, my cousin’s name, and—importantly—both of my grandmothers' name. Josephine is a name I’ve always loved, and have wanted to use. I especially love the historical presence of the name and that it’s been associated with many legendary women from the past. Prairie was a sweet middle name I had started feeling connected to. I loved the picturesque openness I associated with it. One night I handed my husband the list and said I don’t want to talk about the names, I just want you to quietly initial the ones that you feel connected to and Prairie was one of the only ones he initialed and it just felt immediately right. So, now our new love in our life is Prairie."
