The story of Olive

Several people have asked us where we came up with Zoë’s middle name, Olive. Marshall actually found it in one of those big, baby name books of 5,000+ names and wrote it down as one of his favorites. When he mentioned it to me, I thought it was different and fun. We were also considering London because it referred to our love for traveling, one of the places we had traveled together, and just so happened this year, the London 2012 Olympics. So, even as we were on our way to the hospital, we didn’t yet know which one we would go with- Olive or London. We even asked our doctor and the labor and delivery nurse which they liked better. We finally decided on Olive, for no specific reason at all, other than we liked it- it fit us and it fit her….and now, we have Zoë Olive Jones. Here’s our little Olive Oyl!
