We love that her name captures both a deep meaning and that it embodies a major theme of my life during pregnancy.Leonard Cohen started writing 'Hallelujah' in 1979. I asked my husband if he had thought anymore about a girl name and he said he had been thinking of Hallelujah! I hadn’t even told him I was thinking about that name!! I knew that would be the name of we had a girl and that we’d shorten it to Halle. I never really considered it as a name until randomly one day when I was 8 months pregnant.

This past year has been really hard and totally different than what I pictured my first pregnancy to be, so I’ve kept “Hallelujah”, meaning “praise God (Yahweh)!” written on a piece of paper on our mirror as a reminder to worship even when I’m discouraged and hurting. We didn’t know the gender, and the boy name was chosen quickly but we’d been going back n forth on a girl name.

As followers of Jesus, we wanted our kids to have a rich spiritual meaning, something we could pray over their lives.
