An and I usually agree with each other on many things. However, when it comes to deciding on a name for our child, it can get a little tricky! So for our son's name, as soon as we came to an agreement, we happily stuck with it...
LIAM, because who can contend that it's just a downright, cool name? Because who can name a movie that Liam Neeson acted in that sucked? And because, simply, it was the only boy name we both actually agreed on. Haha. Oh, and it has several cool meanings like, "will," "protection," and "my people," but we admit, those weren't the reasons we picked it. Haha. We also noticed it very closely resembles the Vietnamese name, Liem, when pronounced, so we actually don't mind our Vietnamese-speaking friends and family members referring to him as so. ;)
JIREH, because this is the name of God we're most thankful for throughout this season. Because it's the Lord, our Provider, who never let us go hungry, nor fear the next day because we didn't know when the next unemployment check would come through. Because after years without my own stable health insurance to depend on, my child and I are able to receive the best prenatal care at one of the top hospitals in Houston, by one of the best OB-GYNs in Houston. So, if it isn't my God who has and continues to provide for us, there isn't anyone else who can and will!
VO, because it's my husband's name, and not mine. Because it is the name of who I love and adore, who is God-fearing, and who I am proud and happy to call the father of my coming child. I love him!
So world, we can't wait for you to meet our son, Liam Jireh Vo, around April/May of next year! (You can call him LJ for short! An loves this nickname.) :)
