Baby Day

I work in a residential treatment center/prison for kids. One of our former residents came by today - free, working, and sober...can't ask for much more than that:) He has a 2 week old daughter....named....

Delilah Serenity

Serenity is from the Serenity Prayer that he credits in part for saving his life from addiction. I think its sweet.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

Serenity is on my list. I love it.

Delilah reminds me of that "Hey There Delilah" song. :\

I actually LOVE Delilah.

Don't like the name but the sentiment is lovely :)

It's not my style, but it sounds good. Plus, I love that there's a meaning behind it =)!

That prayer saved many, many people. I count myself in as well.
Great reason for a name.

I love Delilah, especially after the song :)

I don't really like the name, but I do love the meaning behind it. Delilah just reminds me of that God awful song that played every five minutes on every radio station last summer.

Don't like the name Serenity, but in this situation, I love it! Delilah is one of my top names!

I don't like the name, but the middle name has a really sweet meaning.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I agree with this.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

I don't care for attribute names, but the story is rather sweet.

[crosseyedcookie.livejournal.com]

I like the name Delilah.
I wonder how many teenage mums named their daughters after that song?

I'm usually not into the hippie dippie names like serenity, zen, crystal, etc. but with delilah (whish is so cutesy, but definitely still great) and because of the prayer, etc, i think its great!

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

That is really, really cute, actually.

I was trying to remember the exact wording of that prayer the other day and I didn't know what it was called so thanks for posting it. I think this little girl has a beautiful name.

i was in a rtc for a while when i was younger and dumber. RIGHT ON about it being a prison.

I dislike both names but the sentiment is nice

Mine really is a prison:) double fencing, rows of constantina and razor wire. We are actually one of the few progressive sanction level five correctional facilities in the state and the only one I know of that doubles as a drug treatment facility (outside TYC, of course. I have to go through four security points just to get to my office...and can't have pointy things....

I miss pointy things...
