Hawth0rne [name_u]Ren[/name_u] was born on [name_u]December[/name_u] 2nd. He joins his big brother Att1cus R0han who acted as my little doula during the unexpected and very quick home birth. We are already completely smitten with him.
His first name was chosen for the subtle literary reference to tie in with our first and for the beautiful symbolism of love represents by the H4wthorne tree. [name_u]Ren[/name_u] was chosen because it honours two cultures connected to our families, Japan and [name_f]India[/name_f]. [name_u]Ren[/name_u] is Japanese for love and lotus. [name_u]Lotus[/name_u] being the national flower of [name_f]India[/name_f]. His name doubles up on love, which accurately describes how we feel.
