The mama from this consultation has let me know her little guy has arrived and been given the so-handsome name … Declan James!
She writes,
“I am the mama from the post about Robert Edward or Benedict Joseph. We went through a few other names including your suggestion of Bennett which I still love.
Ultimately we returned to our rules with our oldest’s name, John Patrick. With John we wanted Irish saint and a new testament name. It was slightly easier with him because his great grandpa is also John.
After several discussions about the pronunciation of Kieran, we landed on Declan James. He narrowly missed the opportunity to be named James Finbar, as St. Finbar’s feast day is September 25th and my husband’s patron. Declan was born on the 28th and is 7.06 pounds and 21 inches long.”
What an amazing set of brothers!! I absolutely LOVE John Patrick and Declan James together!!
Congratulations to the whole family, and happy birthday Baby Declan!!
