I'm bored at work. So I've been googling our baby name choices to see what comes up. While I didn't find anything more on Linkin (other than the band, Linkin Park) I did find a meaning of Lila that I had not heard before.
Hindu: Lila is he term for play, drama, dance, pastime, and sport. The Rama lila is the fall festival that honors Rama, while the Ras lila is the spring festival in honor of Krishna.
Another website says: Lila is a way of describing all reality, including the cosmos, as the outcome of creative play by the divine absolute.
If you know me, you know how much I want to be Indian (the kind from India). And you also know how much I love the theater. So how perfect is that combination?
And while I knew Lila was the Hebrew word for "night", i didn't know it also means "you are mine". More than ever I am convinced that I am having a daughter and this IS her name.
