We've gotten a few questions about Laxmi Priya's name. Here's the scoop. On all her documents she is Laxmipriya, one name. Laxmi or Lakshmi is the name of the Hindu Goddes of Wealth and a popular name in India. Priya means beloved or beautiful and is also a popular Indian name. We think both are beautiful names and would like to keep them to honor her early life and heritage. Since Guvernator is such a long name, we are just going to seperate her name into two parts. So her first name will be Laxmi (we are using the same spelling she was given in India) and Priya will be her middle name. We are going to call her Priya because we think it's beautiful and will be much easier for Americans to say. Not to mention the fact that having three girls with names beginning with "L" might be a bit too much for us to keep straight. We plan to call her Laxmipriya at first then gradually shorten it to Priya.
