He's Here!

On Sept 20th, [name]John[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] E-Hon aka [name]Jax[/name] made his appearance. Yeah! My DH had a dream 2 years ago that he had a son named [name]John[/name] and now he’s here. E-Hon is his Chinese name as chosen by his grandparents. It means “maple” 'cause he’s the first on that side of the family to be born in [name]Canada[/name]. :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing your opinions on our name choice earlier this year!

Congratulations and best wishes! Your son has a great, classic name, and I like the touch of whimsy his Chinese name lends. [name]Love[/name] that it means “maple.”

Congrats! I love that his grandparents chose “maple”, and for a boy in [name]Quebec[/name], no less! [name]How[/name] fitting!

Congratulations! [name]John[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] sounds beautiful!

Congrats to you and your family on the safe arrival of [name]John[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] E-On. It’s a lovely custom that his grandparents get to choose a name for him and how fitting is “[name]Maple[/name]”? Now everytime he sees the [name]Maple[/name] [name]Leaf[/name] on the flag, it can yell: “That’s my name!” [name]Welcome[/name] to the world, my fellow Canadian!

Congratulations! [name]John[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] E-Hon is a great, strong name, and I love the story behind his Chinese name! What a great story to tell him in the future.

All the best!

labmama: yes, there are a number of us federalists still here in QC. I’m glad they didn’t name him something that meant “beaver” or some other Canadian icon though! [name]Maple[/name] is perfect.

thanks everyone for your messages!

What great grandparents giving him such a patriotic and apt name and [name]John[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] is classic. Congratulations.

Thanks rollo!

Congratulations!—What a fantastic story to tell him about his really awesome name!
