My Mother in Law gave me a book with names, their meanings & a Scripture with each. She encouraged me to paint boards & put this information on the front. An amazing idea! It has been so much fun & the coolest part for me is hearing stories from different moms & dads about how they use these boards in their families. Some use it as a part of their bedtime rituals...they say their prayers & just before they tuck those babies in for the night....they stop by the board on the wall & pray these words with their child. Our daughter's name means "righteous" - which means, in right standing with God. We pray every night that she would grow into her name & be righteous! Our son's name means "gracious" & we pray that for him each night & the neat part there, is that I am learning a lot about what being gracious really means....
Anyway, this is part of what I do & here are some examples of others I have painted. If you are interested in ordering - I have a book that I use & can give you all of that information, I will use whatever colors & design you want (assuming I am capable of painting it :) ).
They are $22 so the perfect price for any baby gift. Actually, my Mother in Law is hanging the boards for all of her grandchildren on a wall.

I love these! found you through Ashleigh's site. I just may have to order 3! We will see if hubs will approve!
Davis ... what do you use to find the meanings of the names and the verses to go along with them. I'm definitely wanting to do one for our nursery! how much is shipping?
