What's in a name?



So, as you've probably figured out by now, we decided to name our son Wyatt Paul. We had a really difficult time deciding on a name for him. We searched and searched for something that 1) we could agree on and 2) meant something special to us. About a month before his birth we stumbled across Wyatt and it continued to grow on us until he was born. It immediately made us think of Texas and all the fond memories we had while living there. We also love that one interpretation means "little warrior." You really do need to be a warrior to survive and succeed in the world we live in. Paul is a family name-- it is Brandon's middle name as well as the first name of Wyatt's great great grandfather. Hopefully, he will look to these exemplary men as he grows and matures and develop some of their characteristics.
Just as a side note, we spent months diligently searching for the perfect name but typically call him little man or the baby. Ruby prefers to call him baby brother, and occasionally Whydat. I guess he'll grow into his name...
