My dad (Victor) and my grandma (Gloria) were my favorite people in the world. After they died, I decided that I wanted to name my future children after them. I wanted to make the names a little more unique so I decided that if I had a boy, I would name him “Victory.” And if I had a girl, I would name her “Glory.” I like the name “Victory” because it makes me feel like I conquered something. I like the name “Glory” because it makes me think of awe and wonder. Last September, I found out that I was pregnant. For middle names, I decided that I would use “John” (because my baby daddy’s name is Johnny), and “Anne” (because my middle name is Anne). So I would name my baby either “Victory John” or “Glory Anne.” I really wanted a girl. When I popped the balloon at my gender reveal party and saw pink confetti, I screamed so loud because my wish came true! I can’t wait to meet Glory Anne when I give birth to her in May.

I love both of the names you planned to chose, girl or boy and how you came up with the names, “Victory John” or “Glory Anne.”. Glad you got your wish for a baby girl! Maybe your next child will be a boy and you can use that name too.
