i think we've got it. . .

we've gone back and forth a million times, but i think we're finally set!

we wanted a name that would

A) honor a relative 

be pronounced by Israelis and

C) have a formal/grownup sound with a cute nickname

so we've decided on: Samantha Kate  (nickname Sammy) 

My students and I came up with Samantha/Sammy, so my husband said he'd agree as long as he could use his favorite name as a middle name (hence Kate)

i know a lot of people don't love samantha, and it's not necessarily my favorite name of all time, but i think it's the perfect fit for us

I like Samantha - it's my sister's name, so I'm biased. Good job finding something that works for all the criteria!
