Hi. My name is Marcus Brocklehurst.

Time is running short. I have an important decision facing me and the time has come for me to make this decision.

In a matter of mere days, I'm going to become a father for the first time.

This is the most important time in my life, bar none.

Yet, I still have chosen a name for my daughter.

As I sit on my porch swing and let the evening breeze blow through me, I start to think.

What are some good girls' names? What are some girls' name that I love?"

And as I think the love to myself, an idea comes to me.

I will name my baby girl Mandy. She will be Mandy Brocklehurst.

Mandy means loveable. It's the perfect name.

I will love my daughter with all my heart, and it is the greatest hope deepest within my heart that my daughter will prove to be a loveable person.

The name Mandy can represent the love I truly hope will exist between me and my daughter.

I understand, and have for years, that love is the most precious thing in the world. And what greater love is there than that between parent and child?

That is the thing, more than anything else, that I truly and sincerely hope my daughter will come to understand, and hopefully come to understand early in life.

It is my greatest that my daughter understands and understands early that nothing is more precious than love.

I hope my little girl's heart is filled with love from the nanosecond she comes into this world.

What better name can I give my precious little daughter than Mandy? Mandy meaning loveable.

Mandy Brocklehurst, I love you with all my heart and I can't wait to hold you.
