Although his first name is Aubry, he will go by Luke. This is also a tradition in the Taylor men-not one of them goes by Aubry. There is Babe, Lane, and AJ. We knew from the moment we found out we were having a boy that he would carry on the family name. The hard part was figuring out the name he would be called. One of the really cool and random coincidences of the name Aubry is that it is also a family name on my side, the Livelys. My grandfather's middle name was Aubrey and my uncle's name is Aubrey. The spelling is a bit different, but nonetheless a pretty cool coincidence. So.....I like to think that our son will really be carrying on two different families names. :) (And...both of these men did not go by Aubrey-CA and Bubba Lively)
This past week I was reading passages over him and praying over our son, and it dawned on me...why do I keep debating on what his name should be. Aj and I had tried to come up with names that were unique, creative, rare, but Luke had always been one of my favorites (not because Luke was my boyfriend in 2nd grade:). I knew that I wanted him to have a name that carried great significance. Obviously Luke is a bible name: a man who was in love with the Lord, a doctor, author of a book in the New Testament, one of Paul's best friends, and a devoted leader of spreading the gospel. I then looked up the meaning of Luke: "bringer of light...morning."! WOW what an incredible name, SOLD! Right then I knew without a doubt this was the name for our son. He has definitely brought light and joy into the hearts of my husband and I from the very beginning and ultimately this has and continues to be my prayer for him-that he would be a light for the Lord just as Luke was 2000 years ago. So....to make a long story short...we now refer to our son as LUKE!
