What's in a name?

People have asked us where we came up with the name Raleigh James. Honestly it just came to us! We knew we wanted to carry on the name "James"... that's Nathan's first name, it was his dad's name and his dad's. 

As for Raleigh, it's the place where we had our first home together. It's in the state where we met, fell in love & got married! After some research I am even more pleased with his name. 

The name Raleigh originates from Old English, it's literal meaning is "from the deer meadow" (kind of appropriate for the son of an outdoorsmen!) and its spiritual connotation is "excellent worth"! I love that. James is Hebrew for "supplanter" and the spiritual connotation is "nurtured". A fun fact? Sir Walter Raleigh was known as Queen Elizabeth's favorite! No pressure for naming our future kids, right!? 

We can't wait to meet our baby boy, Raleigh James Price.
