Naming our Wes Wild

Below are a few words about the inspiration behind our little Wes Wild's name if you'd like to know how we chose it -

Wes: Jon's middle name is Wesley and we've always loved that name, but all of our kids have one syllable first names, so we decided to shorten it to Wes. I love that Wes is named after his dad - how special is that?! I also just love, love the name Wes and it seems to fit him so well so far! 

Wild: When choosing a middle name, we wanted a nature inspired name that started with the same letter as his first name. Since we knew we were leaning toward the name Wes, we started looking for nature inspired words that started with "W." When we landed on Wild, we loved the way the two names sounded together! 

Wes was our easiest baby to name. We started out with a list of names but right from the start, we loved Wes Wild. We thought about playing with the spelling of Wild, but ended up keeping it simple. I'm so glad we did!
