For the most part, people pick a name for their child for one of couple reasons, they like the name, its meaning and/or a family significance. So it was no surprise that many people have asked us, "How did you guys come up with the name, Caleb?" In fact, I can remember them asking us the same thing with Elyse, and I had the exact same response. We chose the name because of the reasons above. We love the name, they can not be shortened, for instance, Samuel to Sam, but more importantly, we love the meaning.
Elyse Irene: (Elyse) God is my oath, (Irene) peaceful
Caleb William: (Caleb) faithful and devoted to the Lord, (William) will to desire and protect
Now onto our newest blessing:
Kallen Samuel: (Kallen) Blessed, Holy and Pure, (Samuel) God heard or Requested of God
Therefore, when we discovered the meanings and how uncommon Kallen was we did not hesitate that it was perfect for him.

I have always loved that name! It was on my list but obviously we didn't use it! So glad we have a Kallen in the family!

He's a precious gift from God!

Oh he is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing his sweet namesake. My Samuel's name was chosen for its meaning as well. These precious miracle baby boys...
What a precious picture. And I agree with Christy - Kallen looks a LOT like Elyse here!! Wish I was there to snuggle his sweet newborn-ness!
Love the name, and that face :)
