Late last night we finally sat down to talk about names... I made a list and Alex made a list and then we crossed out names one by one.. We ended up with these three.......
Rafael Lucas August
Alex has always liked Rafael, since he was little (he also loved Ninja Turtles so maybe you can see the connection ;-). Lillebror looks like a little Rafael so I gave in this time ;-)
Lucas has been on our list since Marlee was born but we have always had friends with children named Lucas. However, this time it made it as a seconds name.
Like all the others, he needed a Swedish name and I was struggling a little with that. There are several names I consider Swedish but then they are actually not when you look into it.. I finally went with August (not pronounced like the month August in English but like [ɑːuːgɵst]). I guess you can kind of consider it being a family name from by dad's side, too, from the 18-hundreds (Fredrik August Boltzius).
I do really like his name...especially Swedish August <3
ReplyDeleteWohoo!! he has a name!! Congratulations on one more amazing boy!! Kisses to your (never-ending) growing family!
ReplyDeleteSplendid!! The name fits your family well! I can't wait to meet him. Love you!!
ReplyDeleteJag tycker ni har fått till en fin uppsättning namn.
ReplyDeleteVerkar som vi har fått in ytterligare en ärkeängel i familjen. Rafael har hebreiskt ursprung och betyder Gud har helat. Så den kopplingen och Namnet August som kopplar till helbrägdagöraren Fredrik August måste ju betyda någonting alldeles extra.
