Tag! Where did your kids' names come from?

Alexander Daniel Black. Yep, it is lengthy. I don't think I have even explained that 'Daniel' is in his name yet! Well, I found out I was having a boy and so Grandma insisted we name him (she didn't like us calling him Acorn). So we were on a quest. I was listening to NPR and a segment came on about the Library of Alexandria. Yes, yes, Alexander! That was perfect. Everyone agreed and he was no longer lil' Acorn. It is perfect when you consider how much I love both NPR and books. Daniel is a no brainer. We thought it would be good to have the eldest son carry the Dad's name.
Ryan Vincent Black. Well, I named him Timothy Robert, but Dan refused to put it on the papers. Actually, 'Ryan' came from Dan's sisters on the phone in Tucson. We needed a name and fast! 'Vincent' is from our Italian roots. Great Grandpa Pasquale Vincent Frassa is the only living Great grandfather and we honored him. We debated, 'Pasquale or Vincent,' I guess that was a no brainer too!

Too cute. I love how people come up with names. Isn't it funny how it changes throughout the pregnancy too?
