Welcoming a new baby into the family comes with countless decisions, some big and some small, and many of them have to be made before your little one even arrives. For many new and expecting parents, that means choosing the perfect name for their baby to carry for the rest of their lives—no pressure, right? Some parents-to-be prefer to take their name inspiration from fictional characters, meaningful places, or even just their favorite baby name lists on the internet. For others, it’s all about finding a way to honor the people they love most by passing their name on.

Of course, discovering that you now have a namesake is something that would make almost anyone emotional, but I really have to hand it to the grandma in the TikTok video below: This sweet moment between her and her brand new great granddaughter is enough to make almost anyone well up.

Earlier this month, new mom @marisamusthaves shared footage of the moment that wasn’t just about her grandmother meeting the newest member of the family for the very first time, but also learning that she had been named after her.

It seems to be love at first sight between great grandma and the newest little one, and of course, she couldn’t get enough of that yawn—honestly, is there anything cuter than a newborn baby yawning? 

But then, she finds out that her great granddaughter shares her name, and here come the waterworks (and not just from grandma; it sounds like the new parents were getting pretty emotional too). She’s practically sobbing as she holds the new baby closer. 

There’s no doubt that this grandma is going to remember this moment for the rest of her life… and she may have just ended up with a new favorite member of the family! 

People are gushing over the moment in the comments, and one viewer wrote, “This is how you know grandma did everything right.” 

I couldn’t agree more. After all, many of us just look forward to leaving a legacy in our families, and this is basically the pinnacle. This grandma must mean an awful lot to her family for them to want to honor her in this way, and it seems like this little girl ended up with such a meaningful name in the process that she will always know was inspired by someone who loved her so much. 

May baby Anna and her great grandma make lots more amazing memories together. How lucky they are to get to know each other!
