What's in a Name?

"How did you come up with the name 'Cayman'?"

We get asked this question a lot! It's usually accompanied by a silly grin, expecting to hear we were in the Cayman Island's 9 months before Cayman was born.

There's no fancy story behind it like we were vacationing in a beautiful paradise island or something.

We first heard it on one of Mike's video games. It was the name of a player on a football game. We then heard it on the Makeover Home Edition show. One of the families that had a beautiful house built for them had a daughter named Cayman. We liked the name better for a girl than a boy. We thought it was pretty.

Cayman's middle name -Cindy- is my mom's name.

So that's the uninteresting story of how Cayman got her name.

I tried to look it up to find the meaning of the name Cayman but it does not exist in baby books. Instead when I googled it this is what I found:

Cayman IslandsCayman Crocs

Porsche Cayman

Someday we want to take Cayman to the Cayman Islands and let her go crazy picking out souvenirs with her name on it. When her feet get bigger I'm sure she'll have a pair of Cayman Crocs for them. And if she ever has a Porsche Cayman it will probably be in the match box size.
