Clive Staples Lewis, is one of our pastors favorite authors and gave his first born son part of his name. Boaz Staples Hall was born last year (maybe he will be a writer??). It takes a confident and brave Mother to give her Son a name that most will raise question about throughout his life. We did! It was THE topic at the first church service after he was born (presumably because they knew everyone would be asking?) when we found out the meaning. Oh how she loves her husband (and son)...ALOT!
This. This is a story I love, Sis! It's like vicariously getting to meet someone (your pastor) who UNDERSTANDS and is a kindred spirit. Thank you so much for sharing the name of his firstborn son - how great to share part of C.S. Lewis's name! This is absolutely true about a confident and brave Mom! I look forward to meeting both of them! I love names and their meanings! AND, I think that if any of us ever get a housecat, we should name it Clive. It's not quite right for any of our dogs but it's PERFECT for a cat, doncha think? I love you, Sis! Thank you again for this great comment!
