Nathan was never a name we had considered before our little guy was born. We had tossed a few names around for both boys and girls, but Nathan wasn't on there. In fact, Jeremy's not even sure where it came from, but it was his idea, and he came up with it fairly quickly after the baby was born. Jeremiah was one of my ideas fairly early on, but Jeremy wasn't entirely fond of it. I guess he was willing to concede after his wife had to birth a tiny, dead baby.
I finally decided today to look at see what the names mean. I definitely think we were meant to name this wee babe Nathan Jeremiah.
Nathan--God has given
Jeremiah--God will raise up; God will set free; appointed by God
God gave us Nathan, and He will indeed raise him, and has set him free, just not in the way any of us were expecting.
