What's in a name?
Since the beginning of time names have meant something. They have stood for some cause, giving meaning or held special significance. Our little boy is no different.
We are very family oriented and so it made perfect sense to us to embrace our family names/values as we named this new little addition to our family.
Benjamin was the name of Sunni's grandfather, Ben Shader. An inventor and passionate man of God, Grandpa Ben was notorious for making willow whistles with the little ones in the church.
Stephen is a name that has been passed down in Ryan's family for several generations. This name is typically in the middle name of the son...thus
Benjamin Stephen Cooper.
Not to mention that he can be called so many different names from those...
Ben. Benj, Benji, Benny (not going to happen), Jam, Jamin, BS (said Grandma Patty...perhaps that shouldn't be broadcast).
But for now...we just hope he goes to sleep :)

Perfect! What a beautifully arranged name!
Love Jamin!!! I am hearing some raggae in his future :) Agreed- stay away from BS... unless you are angry about something he did during his teenage years and having conversation amongst yourselves, then it is perfect! (hope you don't show him comments from friends later in his life...)
Jamin - I love it. You know that will stick with the musical background you have. I LOVE to know the history behind names...thanks for sharing it!
James and I are going to go with 'Boise' because of his initials. I said 'BSC, that's good; sounds like a college' and James said "Boise State." So there you have it.
