The meaning behind the name
Rylie Elizabeth Buman
Matt and I like names with meanings. In choosing a name for our baby girl we wanted something that she would live into, just like with Derek's name (meaning is gifted leader). Early on in our name picking I had suggested the name Rylie. It wasn't Matt's top choice, so we put it aside and continued looking for other names, but we kept coming back to the name. Finally, I looked up the meaning of the name Rylie and then we both knew that this was the perfect name for our baby girl.
Rylie means valiant and courageous. We are thrilled God has blessed us with a baby girl to raise up to know and love God. We will strive to help her live into her name, as one who is brave and shows courage and determination, standing up for what is right and good.
Elizabeth is the middle name we chose because we both liked that name. We did not want it to be her first name because we did not like any of the nicknames that came with it. After deciding on it as her middle name we asked our families for a list of female family names and sure enough Elizabeth was a family name on both sides. My Great Aunt Constance's middle name was Elizabeth and a relative on Matt's side of the family also had Elizabeth as a middle name. This was just a confirmation from God that we had chosen the right name for our girl.
We are grateful for Rylie Elizabeth and excited to see what God has in store for her life!
