About her Name and More

Our daughter was born on March 22, 1991 at 11:03pm and was named Tara Jo Ashley TJ Oickle Mabie.

There is also some things that we all have to look at in our families. You see she was born one hour before my dad's birthday. Joey's birthday is May 17th and he was born one hour before his mother's birthday. Also their is 4 of us in the family from the same father, the first 2 are blue eyed and right handed and the last 2 are brown eyed and left handed. The 2 oldest were born 1 year and 3 days apart, and the two oldest grandchildren were born 1 year and 3 days apart. My dad is an only boy in the family, and I only have one brother, and there is only one Grandson in the family.

We had agreed when I found out I was pregnant that he wanted to name the girl and I would name the boy, and we see who won. I never had any problem with this because Joey was never suppose to be able to father children because of complications when he was a little boy.

Tara is after Joey's only brother Terry who passed away in 1982. Jo is after her dad Joey and also a good friend of his family, had a daughter and called her Joanne after Joey so we just used the Jo. Ashley is after her grandfather, his middle name was Ashton and we couldn't think of anything else to use for a girl, so we changed it a little bit. We also didn't know that you can spell Ashtyn for a girl, because that is what it would of been instead of Ashley. TJ is because Joey's brother that passed away had a son Timothy James Joseph and he wanted him called TJ but his wife wouldn't do that. She said his name is Timmy and that is what he will be called. We also put Oickle-Mabie on her name because I wouldn't just give her Joey's last name because we weren't married at the time. We got married when she was 3 years old and then we changed her name and took out my maiden name.
