What's in a name? Lots of stuff.

Our beautiful baby boy has a name: Theophilus Kwame Stocking

Theophilus is a name Emily has always wanted (and I love it too).  It is unique and we like that.

Kwame is a Ghanian name.  It means Saturday born (male).  While we were in Ghana we learned of this naming tradition and loved it...so we hoped he was born on a day with one of the names we liked...some of them are little hard to say, but this one isn't too bad.

It is fun to hear people's reactions to the name.  Everyone keeps asking us to spell it.  It is fun. 

We will call him "Theo" most of the time.
