Welcome to HannahSolTenney blog!

Why the name? Hannah is my middle name, though it's not the name on my social security card. My parents gave me the middle name Anne. While it's a lovely name, I have never loved it. Hannah is the name I love. I have female ancestors on both sides of my family named Hannah. My mother's great-grandmother was a Norweigan woman named Hannah; a midwife in North Dakota. It also means "grace" in ancient Hebrew.

Sol is the middle name of my son, Sebastian. It was given to him for the symbolism of the sun (sol in Spanish) being the creator of all life. His father is Mexican, so his name honors his side of the family as well; Sol Rojas.

Tenney is our last name. Sebastian is the only child in this generation of the Tenney family who still carries the family name. Perhaps one day he'll pass it on.
