Was told I was having a boy, so Jacob Isaiah, but advice given was to have a girls name too. She would kick off my desk while I was typing, very strong kicks I might add. Brianna means strong. The Pastor's wife's nickname is Bri, and she also said that the Lord said to consider Anna for a name. So, I think God choose her name, that Brianna was a confirmation.
Jacki says:
it was a mutual last-minute decision between her father and I..we originally had the agreement that if she were a boy, he'd name him, and I'd get to name her if she were a girl..well about a month prior to delivery, I felt the agreement to be unfair, especially when he hated the original name (Lilliana) ..so we re-opened the discussion and threw a ton of names out, and Brooklynn was the only one we both agreed on..lol
