It was a close call, but between Baby Awesome and Tempura, we decided on: Noa. (Don’t worry, we took all of your votes and suggestions into consideration. For about 1 second…)
Here is what we have decided on:
Want a little background on the name? I know you do.
My Mom came up with the name when we were trying to come up with an English name that was easy to pronounce in Japanese. William just didn’t cut it.
The kanji is an interesting reading of the character for "hope/dreams/desire" (Kiko really wanted to use this character) and "sky".
Finally, the middle name, "Kenichiro" is named after my Dad. For good measure we through in the last part of Kiko’s Dad’s names as well. Good? good.
