What's in a name?

Cameron Thomas - where did his name come from?

Well, honestly, we first thought of his name when we were discussing hockey players (is it weird that I can remember exactly where we were - leaving Irondequoit getting on to Route 104 to head home - when we first talked about his name?). One of Tim's favorite hockey players is Cam Neely. We both thought that was a good name for a boy, and once we determined that it was also of Scottish origin we were set. So our first name for a boy was decided a long time ago.

For the middle name, it was really important to Tim that it have meaning, not just be another name. We went through a whole bunch of names but once we thought of Thomas, we decided it was perfect too. Tim's dad's name is Thomas, and my uncle/godfather's name is Thomas. Thomas is also my youngest brother's middle name. So lots of Tom's all over the family. Plus, it sounds good with Cameron!
