That's the name we picked when we found out that we are having a little girl!
Carey and I are so excited! People asked me what we wanted to have and I didn't have a preference.
Carey and I both thought it was a girl for many reasons. But we only had a girl name picked out and every time we would pray for our baby we would say, "She" or "her" inadvertently.
If you don't know, my wife and I have been trying to have children for over 9 years. Mia's name comes from 2 Cor. 12:9, where the Lord tells Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you..." God has encouraged us with this verse so many times over the years as we were unable to have kids, so we felt this was an appropriate name. She's truly a gift of God's grace.
We should be seeing Mia Grace in about 20 weeks. I can't wait!
Bob we're so happy for you guys... I can't wait to see our kids playing together... what a blessing... great Job with the name...

Great Stuff, Bob. When Mia Grace feels like hanging out with another little one, I have a McKenna Grace just down the street from your little girl.

Great name. So great is it that it is the EXACT first and middle name that Lisa and I hoped to name our first girls.
Oh well. Back to the baby name book for when that time comes...
