  1. Her first name means bright and her middle name ( Dorothy) means gift of god

  2. Our daugter’s middle name is Clare. My husband’s maternal grandfather’s name was Clarendon and he went by Clare. That’s where her middle name came from. Her first name is Mila, named after my paternal grandmother, Milagros. Mila Clare <3
