The Repeating Signs that guided me to choose my Daughter's Name!

​Have you ever noticed the signs that are just for you?
 
When I was in my early twenties, I remember watching the show Star Search and one of the categories was for supermodels. One night, they said, the name Michaela (She was from Argentina so, it was pronounced, with a Spanish inflection). I was immediately attracted to her name, but I didn't know why but I felt the nudge.
 
A couple of months later, I met a makeup artist; we were both doing makeup for a modelling agency; she was from England and, her name was Mikayla. This was the second time hearing this name but slightly different and, I still had that nudge that it was important for me to pay attention.
 
These two times, I felt my breath taken, I knew it was important and began to think if I have a daughter, I am going to give her this name.
 
A couple of years later I met my husband and guess what, his name was Michael!
 
One year before we got married, I heard the name a 3rd time as Michaela Dr. Quinn on the Medicine woman TV show. I again felt the nudge.
 
I was set on this name so, I took it as a sign since my husband's name was Michael. It was never my plan to name any of my children after me or my future husband because I always wanted my child to feel they had their own identity. I felt compelled to give my daughter this name, so I tried other names because my husband was not as in love with the name as I was. No other name felt right, so I knew it just had to be.
 
When something shows up several times, especially 3, I feel compelled to listen and act on the intuitive hit.
 
Have you ever experienced something so strongly that you followed your intuition? Have you seen the signs that you could not ignore?
​
The more you listen, the clearer they will get.
