I did a private almost-consultation for a mama due near Christmas — her baby came quicker than expected so I was only able to send her a few quick thoughts — but it turns out she and her hubby did an absolutely fine job on their own! I’m thrilled to share the amazing name they gave their little guy … Dominic Pax!

What an amazing combo! I’ve always loved that Dominic means “of the Lord,” and with Pax meaning “peace,” this little guy has an incredibly meaningful name! It’s also perfect for a Christmastime babe — his mama writes, “Pax just seemed like a really appropriate name for the season!” Indeed!!

Congratulations to the happy parents and big siblings Juliana Claire, Curtis Xavier, Adeline Frances, Thomas Ambrose, Thea Josephine (in heaven), and Fulton Joseph, and happy birthday Baby Dominic!!
