Named daughter after my dads WoW character

I just wanted to share this with people who would get it.

I used to play WoW with my dad when I was 10 years old. We shared an account and would spend hours playing together side by side (much to my mothers dismay as we were often late for dinner- we waited 5 hrs for that alterac valley queue hello)

I quit when I went to high school but my dad continued to play up until his dementia stopped him from being able to login. My husband and I (Tippity and Sippity in case anyone here remembers us) actually picked it back up during COVID and got to play with him which was super fun.

My dad passed away earlier this year in February from stage 4 lung cancer with Mets in his brain.

The main we created together was a shaman called Amivanna.

She forever stayed his main for the decades he continued to play afterwards.

I got pregnant pretty much right after he passed. I just gave birth to my baby girl 2 weeks ago and we named her middle name “Amivanna.” It’s a weird made up name but I know my dad is beaming down on her thinking “that is just so cool.”

I miss him every day but I know my dad lives on through her ♥️ and what do we know maybe she will turn out to be a gamer like him!
