What’s in a name?
With the appointment coming up to find out whether our bundle of joy will be a boy…or a girl, we have been thinking a lot about names. For a girl we are definitely set on the name “Ella May Zeidner” after Jocey’s Great Grandmother Belt. The name for a boy however has not been quite as easy. We have a couple of middle names picked out that we really want to use honoring family members. Jay, after Jocey’s father, and Maxwell, after my mom’s father. For some reason Hebrew names have been the most popular for us so far for a first name. Both “Judah Maxwell Zeidner” and “Ari (pr: Ar-ee) Jay Zeidner” are at the top of our list as of right now, but we’re not completely settled on that and are currently looking into other family names as well. I really like the meaning of Judah: One who praises God, and also the symbolism of the Lion of Judah. Ari means “resembling a lion or eagle”. I’m not sure how those two animals are related, but that’s what the baby name book said so it must be true! I guess the name search will continue until we are completely satisfied with a boys name…or we find out we’re having a girl.
