Announcing the arrival of Boaz

We are really happy to announce the arrival of [name]Boaz[/name] [name]Geoffrey[/name] Mekonnen on 4th [name]July[/name], 2013. Big brothers Gebriael, [name]Roscoe[/name] and [name]Cormac[/name] are thrilled to bits :slight_smile:

I wanted to say thanks so much to the berries who gave us their thoughts and suggestions in the last month or so, when I was in a bit of panic because DH had last minute name doubts and we found ourselves back at the drawing board. Working through your thoughts, suggestions and feedback brought us full-circle, back to [name]Boaz[/name], the name we’d initially settled on and my own first choice.

We’ve had mostly positive feedback, although I have been slightly surprised by how many people have never heard the name [name]Boaz[/name], and also by the number of people who have asked how to pronounce or spell it… We love his name and I am happy to say we have no regrets.

Thanks again, berries

Congrats!!! [name]Just[/name] saw your post in the boys forum, so wanted to say glad your new bub arrived safe and sound! I love how [name]Boaz[/name] means swiftness. I myself have never heard of it but it is very unique and different which means he will definitely be the only [name]Boaz[/name] in his class for sure! Congrats again :slight_smile:

Congrats, again, on your 4th of [name]July[/name] baby! I love [name]Boaz[/name] and I am so happy that you guys came full circle on it. I know that had to have been really stressful to go back to the drawing board but I think you guys made the right choice :wink: Good luck with everything!

Congratulations on the arrival of your fourth beautiful miracle! [name]Boaz[/name] is a gorgeous name! It’s also the name of my second son, [name]Boaz[/name] [name]Arthur[/name], who is six.
