Sheila was asking me about the Ellis in the names. Ellis is my maternal Grandmother's last name. And so because I love talking about my babes, and because I know you'll humor me, I'll just indulge myself a little here and share the history of naming our dozen (or so) children.
Karsyn is a name I have loved since we were pregnant with Kennady. And in my family, there's a **rule** that all the little girls must have "K" names. It started with me, then my cousin Katie, then my sister Kristy and along came Kristen and Krystal and then Kassie. I have Kennady and my sister has Macy Kaye (my sister, the rule breaker always loved the name Macy and well, she did give her a K-name for a middle name) and then my cousin Katie has Kelsie.
We like the naming-baby process.

What a fun story. That's wonderful that your names have such history behind them. Naming for us never comes easy, but it always fits them when they get here.
