After much pondering, Jeff and I have decided on a name for our baby boy:
Mckinnon Andrew Ford
How did we come up with that? Well, we are both really fans of our family and so we love family names. Rhyan's name is comprised of mine and Jeff's middle names, so we wanted to go up a generation this go round...
Mckinnon: My Mommie and Daddy's last name. It is really important to me to pass something on from them to my children. They will never know how much it means to me that they raised me... gave up their "golden years" to raise yet another child. I'm so grateful for their sacrifice, and their love! This is a way to honor them both. :-) And of course i love that my Daddy was called "Mack" as a kid by some.
Andrew: Jeff's dad's name! His name is Andrew Cantrelle and while both names are great, it clearly sounds better to put the simpler name with Mckinnon so that they are not both "different" names.
We love that our baby can be named after both of his grandfathers! We love that by being able to pass on a name from both sides of our family, we stress the importance of both sides.
If you havent guessed yet, we love the name. And hope you do, too :-)
