Umayma is pretty! love that long-O beginning.
I love the idea of Persevere. (I also love Perseverance) So delightfully, quirkily Puritan! Is this for a boy or girl?
Two things come to mind for Persevere or Perseverance as a name - one, that my friend can NOT say "persevere" to save her life - it always comes out "preserve", so I've connected jam and perseverance in my mind forevermore. Second, that scene from The Tudors where
Anne Bolyn was dressed up as the personification of Perseverance when she first catches
King Henry's eye. So Persevere/Perseverance = jam and
Anne. Awesome right?
