What Might Have Been… [Surprised by Joe]

(Shout out to Roger Scharf)

I noted yesterday that Jenny and I were surprised when we discovered that we were having a boy. For a variety of reasons, we had been expecting to have a girl. In fact, we had already settled on a girl’s name, one that we both loved. (We haven’t settled on the boy’s name yet, and when we do, we’re planning to keep it as a secret until our son is born).

Some of you have been asking what our choice for a girl’s name was, so I thought I’d give you the opportunity to guess. It’s a rare biblical name that also carries contemporary relevance.

It can be found in Genesis 36. First one to guess it in the comments gets a gold star.

UPDATE: And the gold star goes to…

TJ!!

Oh, and we weren’t really going to name our daughter that. Are you crazy?
