What a beautiful choice (and even more wonderful reason behind it)

Someday she will enjoy hearing or reading the story of her namesake. Let's hope she understands and appreciates the gift! Maybe, just in case, you want to share with her an alternate version that emphasizes the incredible natural beauty of the place so she doesn't only think of herself as being named after a hippie dropout that starved to death in an abandoned school bus. . . not my view, don't get offended, but there are many ways to look at one picture.
