Today we found out our baby is going to be a boy. Nothing could explain how excited we were about this, as it's all we wanted, no offense to people who want girls. So, now we are thinking of names for this boy. What's in a name? In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet talks about if a rose had another other name, would it still smell as sweet. Does a name place a sort of list of expectations for that person to fulfill in their lifetime? Some cultures name their children after dead loved ones, in which to be like that loved person and obtain some of their characteristics. Other cultures name their children after what they want them to be (i.e. peaceful leader, strong, heavenly). I guess, you could say, we combined both of these traditions. We have chosen the following names for our son. I'm not quite sure of the order these names will have, but here they are. Penisimani - "Benjamin", Kimi's dad's name & Ilaisia -"Elijiah"- Lala, Kimi's sister, chose this name. We're still unsure as to the first name. Both Penisimani and Ilaisia will be the middle names.
