Wow, what a great story. I had no idea about the name. I love how much thought you and Brett put into that. Thank you for taking the time to write about it. ❤️
I have never been as thoughtful about a place name (though that’s one of my favorite things in books I’ve read). But people’s names are important to me, so our children’s names were all very deliberate. One, specifically, is Clarissa—brilliant light. She broke into the world with all vim and fire, and she has continued to grow into her name.
" of which the main result was to have anchor decor thrust upon us at every opportunity since." That is so funny.
I love thinking about this... I love your exhortation to us (by way of yourself) that a Christian mustn't forget that one's actions are royal by default.
Charles means "free man," and our Charlie has definitely assumed this liberal posture in life. Maybe I would have chosen a more mild name had I known...
A surprise twist in a name is one of the great glories of life, so I imagine whatever name you picked would confound your expectations in some way or another. 😉

This was my favorite letter to write so far. 🥰

Oh what a description! "all vim and fire" ...I could listen to name stories all day/week/year long. 😍
I’ll have to tell you more ☺️

Our Charlie, too.
Yes, your Charlie had that same look of freedom in his eyes!
