So it doesn't make a ton of sense to hide Swimmy's name and use Benjamin's. I'm going to tell you her name, but thought it might be fun for you to guess first. Maybe there's a prize. I'll even give you a few hints:
1. It's biblically-based.
2. The first letter is for both our paternal grandfathers.
3. It doesn't rhyme with Benjamin.
Leave your guesses in the comments!
Um... I think I know it from something you posted earlier. I won't say, though, so as to not ruin it for anybody else.

I am never any good at guessing games! And also not that religious, so there's that, I guess I am out. I am sure it is a fab name though! :)

Since I already know her name, I will happily accept bribes to spill the beans.

Well, because you said it'd be okay... I think it's Leah, but I could be WAY wrong.

I do not know what your paternal grandfather names would be, so I am at a loss over here! Although Leah jumped out at me as well...
I find this incredibly amusing you know, because just the other day I was thinking about this. And I wondered aloud to the hubby about it. He says " Why don't you just email her and ask why she keeps Swimmys name a secret and not Benjamins?" And so that is what I was going to do... hah.

I think it might be Leah, also.

I know what it is - so that wouldn't be fair... but someone earlier did get it!! :-)

Is it Rebecca? Your grandfathers could be Richard, or Robert, or Raymond, or Randolph, or Rudolph, or Ryan, or Ronald, or ......
I love the name Rebecca.

Um, I think it's Leah cuz you can hear your husband calling her on the video when she gets home from camp. Quite sure he said Leah.

When are you going to say? The suspense might actually kill me!

Darn... I just tried searching your site for info on your grandfathers' names, but no luck. "Biblically-based" and not rhyming with Benjamin just aren't good enough clues!
