What's in a name?

Joyce is coming along nicely with her pregnancy. As of right now, its about approaching 6 months. What's next? Apart from receiving some baby clothes and receiving some toys, it's time to think of a name.

We really want a unique name. Yet it must not sound strange. Challenging!

Proverbs 22:1

New King James Version (NKJV)

Proverbs 22

 ¹ A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
      Loving favor rather than silver and gold.

We came up with a few that we both agreed upon.

1) Edison \e-di-son\ as a boy's name is pronounced ED-ih-sun. It is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Edison is "son of Edward". The name is used in honor of inventor Thomas Edison.


2)Leon \leon\ as a boy's name is pronounced LEE-ahn. It is of Greek origin. Variant of Leo. Thelion is a central figure in the art and religious symbolism of many different cultures, usually meaning kingliness, grandeur, and courage. See also Lionel. Author Leon Uris.


3)Toby \t(o)-by\ as a boy's name (also used as girl's name Toby), is pronounced TOH-bee. It is of English origin. Short form of Tobias (Hebrew) "God is good". Actor Tobey Maguire.


We sort of decided on Toby for now. Of course things might change.
