Choosing that special name...

As some of you would already have known, we have decided to name our baby boy 'Devon' (pronounced as DEV un). How we came up with this name is rather obvious, basically our names combined, but I was joking to Delvin that Popcorn's name has my full name in it & his has only the letter D in it. Delvin corrected me by saying that Devon has four letters of both our names in it, so that makes us fair & square... ok, I admit defeat.. Boo!

It may seem really straightforward but it wasn't an easy task, we went through several names before finally deciding on this one. We feel that it's unique & a derivation from the both of us and that is what makes Popcorn so special.

There are several meanings of this name.. in English, it means a county in England noted for its beautiful farmland and in irish, it means poet. That's not too bad isn't it? Maybe we have a future Oscar Wilde in the making?
