On [name_u]December[/name_u] 9, 2013 we welcomed our son [name_m]Moses[/name_m] [name_m]Von[/name_m].
We chose [name_m]Moses[/name_m] before we even knew I was pregnant. It is a strong, well known but seldom used biblical name that my husband and I both love!
Before WWII, my husbands family dropped the ‘von’ from their last name as they wanted it to seem less [name_m]German[/name_m]. We wanted to give our son his last name back.
[name_m]Moses[/name_m] was welcomed by his parents and older sister, [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Alyce[/name_f], who loves her little brother so much!
Congratulations! [name_m]Moses[/name_m] is fabulous, and [name_m]Von[/name_m] is very cool. It makes me think of [name_u]Van[/name_u] Helsing, [name_m]Von[/name_m] Trapp, and Vonnegut!
Oooo, I’m soo excited to see [name_m]Moses[/name_m]. I’ve really been loving it lately!! It’s really cool of you, bringing [name_m]Von[/name_m] back into his name. I love that idea… So, congratulations, all the best with your darlings, [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] and [name_m]Moses[/name_m]. (which is a sweet sibset too!)
I’m so glad to hear about a little [name_m]Moses[/name_m]! And what a nice sentiment to give him his last name back by using [name_m]Von[/name_m]. Gorgeous sib-set too
