Connor William Horton

September 12, 2008 By: Billy Horton Category: General 3 Comments →

He was born at 4pm on Saturday, September 6th. He was 7.1 pounds & 20.5 inches at birth. A lot went into the names we chose so we would like to share with you how we came to name our son.

The meaning of the name Connor is strong willed, wise and ‘hound-lover’, which is cool because our family loves dogs. It also is derived from the Irish ‘Coachuhhar’, meaning high desire. The spiritual connotation is “stronghold of God” and the scripture attached to the name is 2 Corinthians 10:5- We are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

It is a tradition in my family to have your son named after a father or grandfather. This has gone on for generations and as parents we are proud to carry the tradition on. His middle name, William, is named after myself & his great grandfather. The meaning of the name in German is resolute protector & the spiritual connotation is noble spirit. The scripture attached to it is Deuteronomy 5:33- You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you…that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

The funny thing is that we had already pretty much decided on what to name him, but we decided to make last week’s poll question on what you, the public, thought his name should be. The number one most common response- Connor. The number two most common response- Billy Jr. Enjoy his first photos that are below.
