We had a really hard time with a name for our baby girl. It's funny cause when we were pregnant with Kaden we had a bunch of girl names and when we found out our second was a girl we didn't think any of those we originally liked fit baby number 2. So, we a lot of searching and praying we narrowed it down to Emery and Addysen.
We aren't ones to change up the spelling of names just for the sake of being different, but the original spelling Addison means son of Adam. We wanted it to be a little more feminine so we spelled it with "sen" and you have to change the "i" to a "y" cause if we left it with an "i" the "e" in "sen" would make the "i" say it's name. (Make sense? No, well... Joel's elementary education degree said that we had to change the "i" to a "y".
It's a family thing: My cousin April texted us a bunch of names and Addysen was one of them. It's only right that since I had a hand in naming April she would have a hand in naming our baby girl. We also got a call from my other cousin, Sophie, the day after we posted our list of names on Facebook and she said she had a dream before we posted them saying we called the baby Addysen and since that was one of the choices she said it was meant to be. Kaden's middle name is Anh Bao. Anh is Joel's dad's name, so... I thought it only fitting to incorporate my dad's name for Addysen. We told Joel's parents we wanted Thanh to be part of her middle name and they came up with a few options. We liked Thanh Thuy the best for the meaning and since it's the names of important people in our lives.
I am not sure she looks like an Addy to me, I don't mind if other people call her Addy... Kaden still calls her sissy or CiCi. (the name of a girl race car he wanted to originally name her after). Her name is quite fitting since she's very kind and peaceful.

She is a doll! We did the same thing with names. Our round 1 boy list was totally tossed for round 2, mostly because we knew 50 people who had used those names. You'll find a nickname for her thT has nothing to do with her name; that's how it usually works :)
