Rhett and Noah found an old baby name book in the many piles of things I have been dragging out of boxes. Noah wants to look up his name and so we find it.
Noah: What does Heb brew mean?
me: It is Hebrew. It is where the name was derived from.
Noah: ?
me: Well, your name came from the bible. That is a very old language.
Noah: Oh.
me: It says here your name means peaceful and restful.
Noah: What?
me: Peaceful and restful.
Noah: Aww! I am not peaceful or restful!
me: No, you really aren't.
Noah: I guess I might need a new name....Wait, what does Lee mean?
me: Meadow. My middle name is Leigh too so I know.
Noah: Meadow?
Then I look it up.
me: It also means plum. So you are a peaceful meadow or a restful plum!
Noah then gives me the look which means I took it too far, even if I didn't. Fun is over, I go back to my dishes.
A few minutes later...
Noah: Hey! My new name can be Gib! It means powerful.
Because being powerful beats being peaceful anyday, at least according to Gib.

Tell Noah/Gib it could be worse...Mallory was unimpressed recently when she learned that her name means "unlucky."
So funny Aimee....and then I laughed harder at Krista's comment! :)
It is bad that I don't even know for sure what my kids names mean??
Christy
Kids are too funny. We desperately need to find a baby name and can't agree on anything!
Of course it is better to be powerful! What were you thinking?
Gib - love it! Tell Gib we love him no matter what his beautiful name Noah means :-) Love Melissa
Christy, apparently it is better if you don't know what your kids name mean. :)
