Our baby boy...

Birth Announcements

We’re delighted to (belatedly) announce that our son was born on 19 [name_f]April[/name_f]. After a day still debating the name we named him [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] Gough [surname].

Name choice: we wanted names with strong histories to them. [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] is mostly in honour of [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] Stevens, a radical 19th century politician who was at the forefront not only of abolishionism, but equal rights across the board. Indeed he was one of the first politicians in the world to bring forward a petition for women’s rights. However we also love the name’s meaning. Gough is for Gough Whitlam, a progressive Australian Prime Minister.

We are recovering well at home and so so in love!!!

What a strong and beautiful name. I truly hope that your son grows to be inspired by the men he was named for.
