They looked in a book of african names that they used for my older sister as well...
They actually took their sweet time picking a name lol. I was a few months old before they decided. Until then, they just called me "sister girl!" :P
The day my mom gave birth to me, some people visited her in her room in the hospital and some random guest suggested my name .... my dad said ok we'll use that and so became the lamest story of how one got their name. (I can't believe my parents never made up a better story to at least make me feel better about my name)
well my mom was too depressed after my dads death so my gramma named me. she didn't necessarily name me after anyone, she just loves the name because shes french and its very european. though they both did decide on the spelling of my name because its different than everyone elses-madolyn
