One honor that we have when bringing a child into the world is giving them a proper name. I found it to be fun to find names that fit my baby’s character and bright future, and so did my husband. I discovered that he had already thought of baby names for his children long before he met me, but when he told me what they were I knew that our child was lucky that I was about to save him from a life of ridicule.
