  1. We named her after St Philomena. And after picking out her name discovered St Philomena’s birth day was same day as my due date. And then our Philomena came on her due date! It was pretty crazy! We nicknamed her Mena for short!

  2. Feminine version of my husband’s middle name, Filomene. Also, named after one of the early Christian martyrs.
