It is a beautiful name, and I am very blessed to have known her. Pretty much anyone who knew her thought of my Grandma as a saint, she was WONDERFUL! When I was pregnant with our first son, I wanted the middle name to be Veronica if the baby had been a girl. Oh well! By the time we had our daughter two years later, many had convinced me that Veronica would just be too much to handle with our last name, so we chose my mother's name instead (who is also a saint in my eyes). The neat part of it is that when our daughter was confirmed, without any suggestion on my part, she chose Veronica! It was very much a blessing.
I have one cousin who was born a few months after Grandma died. She is the only cousin out of 26 who didn't ever get to meet Grandma, and the next closest in age were five, so they probably remember a little bit of her. I think some of us have always felt badly for our one cousin (or sister to some), because Grandma was so special to each of us. (sigh)
I know how you feel. I've had to reject a few names because they didn't go with the last name. How wonderful that your girl chose her Grandma's name for confirmation : )
Your cousin missed out, and it's sad when people talk about a departed loved one, and you feel a little out the loop. I'm sure your Grandma looks out over each and every one of you, though. 26 cousins? Are you Irish? I have 27 first cousins : )
