Given her magic, and magnitude - your Ohio baby deserves a name reflective of that, one derived from Celtic antiquity. Suggestion: Brighid, Brigit or Brigid Background: "The Exalted One" - Brigit was one of the Triple Goddesses of the Celtic people. Goddess of the fire. She was Protectress of smyths, healers and poets. She was the High Mother Goddess of Ireland and survived Christianity. As one of the most popular goddesses worshipped by the Celtic peoples, including the druids, many of her stories and symbology survive in the persona of Saint Brigid. She is the goddess of all things perceived to be of relatively high dimensions such as high- rising flames, highlands, hill-forts and upland areas; and of activities and states conceived as psychologically lofty and elevated, such as wisdom, excellence, perfection, high intelligence, poetic eloquence, craftsmanship (especially blacksmithing), healing ability, druidic knowledge and skill in warfare. In the living traditions, whether seen as goddess or saint, she is largely associated with the home and hearth and is a favorite of both Pagans and Christians.
