What's in a name?

Well there is quite a bit to our son's name, but I think that he will definately live up to all that is in it! Let's take a closer look at what it all includes: Robert William Olson Lancaster.

Robert = Mike's father
William = Mo's grandfather
Olson = Mo's maiden name, the last of our families' little Olson clan
Lancaster = Mike (and Mo's) surname

Where did we get Liam in all of this? Well, if you look closely Liam is contained in WilLIAM! Wow -right? Traditionally Liam is an Irish nickname for William, just like Mo is an traditional Irish nickname for Maureen.

So that is our son's name. We love that there is a connection to each of our families, we wanted to give him a solid foundation on which to build "his own name."
