babynamesWell, my son is finally here, and we didn't change our minds about naming him Jonah Robert. Jonah is hebrew and means "peace" or "a dove" and Robert is English and means "bright fame" or "famous brilliance" (it's also the middle name of my husband and his father and grandfather).
Other names considered were:
Adele Cherie (for a girl)
Blake
Barry
Rowan
After watching The Chronicles of Narnia, Voyage of the Dawn Treaders we even joked about calling him Eustace, after the kid who got turned into a dragon (Jonah was born in the Chinese year of the dragon).
We are really happy with the name and we think it suits him. Feedback on the name has been about half and half good and bad. My grandmother was absolutely revolted that I named my son after the dude who got swallowed by a whale in the Bible, but she never liked any of her grandchildren's names at first. :D Pic behind the cut.
