What is in a Name...

Dear Sweet Rose,

Today we were looking at the parent.com site and searched on the name of our new son to be...Kaiden. Here is what they said about his name:

One of the contemporary names with an "en" ending. Debuted on the popularity chart in 1992, quickly climbing among the top 100.

VARIATIONS

Edward
ORIGIN: Old English
MEANING: Wealth protector

Greatly influenced during the 11th century by Edward the Confessor, who became king of England before the Norman Conquest. He's considered a saint by the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Remained a popular royal name in England. A literary name used by William Shakespeare in several plays.

NICKNAMES: Eddie Ed Ted Ned

FAMOUS Edwards

I think this is a very fitting name: spirited or beloved companion in some books, wealthy protector.

I love you and I love the name that we have from being together: soulmate.

I think Kaiden will love his name. It is very appropriate for him as he definitely loved already, has become quite a companion for me for the last 9 months, and he is undoubtably spirited. What an ACTIVE little boy!

I am also glad that he has part of your name included in his, as I know he is going to strive to be like his dad. :)

I love that we are soulmates and the names that we have created for each other. And I can't forget to mention that names do prove true, b/c you are definitely HANDSOME!!
