OMG! A baby has been named after me! [View all]

My granddaughter just had a baby an hour ago and when I asked my son her name, he said Octavia Gayle! Mine is the second name. I am shocked--SHOCKED, I tell you, by how much this means to me. She is my tenth great-grandchild.

Ok, now I know why people do this. I have a strong urge to give her gifts and favor her forever. Lol
