What's in a Name???


What does it take to name a child today? When my wife was pregnant with our first child, we ran through names and actually came up with some funny ones and some very strange ones. We finally settled on creating a name with meaning; a cultural and family-based meaning. We knew/know people are judged by their names. Some schools, jobs, organizations accept or deny prospects due to name alone. We thought long and hard about this. In the end, we felt it was our duty to honor our child with the lineage of his strong bloodline.

Create a name of positive energy and with care and nurturing and the child will grow into it.
