Wanted to share with you why we chose the name we did for baby Theodore!
We love how this name sounds and how it fits into our family, but we also love what the names mean/represent.
Theodore – Greek, “gift of God”
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
Haddon – named after Charles Haddon Spurgeon, theologian and preacher of the Gospel
“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” 2 Timothy 4:2
You can learn about our other children’s names here: Vera, Cordelia, and Jude.
I think has name is perfect.
When he’s all grown up, which unfortunately will be all too soon, his name will make him sound very important.
Theodore isn’t a name you hear used much anymore. I think when you say someone’s name, you should be able to tell if they are a girl or boy, man or woman. So many people today have what I call generic names.
Theodore is definitely not generic.
Enjoy this wonderful long weekend.
Thanks for your sweet comment, Crystal!
Not to many people would normally know where Haddon comes from 😉 – Travis knew instantly haha.
Love a name with meaning
I figured Travis would know! 😉
I always enjoy hearing why people choose certain names for their children; thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s a great name for him!! 🙂
