What my babies' names mean…

Well, they aren’t babies anymore (so sad).

My sister, Mandy tagged me on this subject, so here goes.

With both my pregnancies I did not find out the sex ahead of time. Both were a surprise. I really liked it that way.

With Brandon, I was in the hospital for 5 days after I had him. People got upset with me because a name was not picked out right away. We waited til the very last minute. It was “baby boy Scott” for quite a while. We couldn’t agree was the problem. So finally we sat in the hospital room going through the baby name book. We decided that the first name that we both thought was acceptable we’d go with. Went the the A’s….couldn’t agree…..Went through the B’s….got to Brandon and we both thought we could live with that and there you have it.

After having Luc, my sister Lori suggested “Luke”. We did like it…though we decided to actually go with “Lucas” (Luc, for short). We realized later two things: First, we are a family of 4 in which two of us have names beginning with B (Bob is really Robert, but no one calls him that), and two of us have names beginning with L. Second, Brandon and Bob’s initials can be shortened to “BS”, which Bob loves to use at work.
Here is what I found on the internet regarding the name, Brandon:

Derived from a surname and place name based on the Old English for 'hill covered with broom'. Broom is a prolific weed. Also, 'From the beacon hill'.


Here is what I found on the internet regarding the name, Lucas:

The Irish name Lucas means - "light."

All three boys have a middle name beginning with E. Edward is Bob’s, Emerson is Brandon’s, and Emmett is Luc’s.
And now I'm going to have to double-tag Kim, because I really don't have anyone else to tag. Sorry Kim!
