Naming our second son was definitely a process!! :) We wanted a name with a strong meaning and something that ‘went well’ with Asher. There were lots of names that fit that bill… but Jesse was the name that we eventually chose for not just those two reasons, but also because we loved it!
Jesse means, “Jehovah Exists!” which we both loved. We also loved that Jesse was unique without being strange. We love that the Biblical Jesse is the father of David and part of the line of Christ. We both liked how Jesse fit with Asher and even though it’s a feminine nickname, we think it’s a strong masculine name… perfect for (someday) yelling, “Go Jesse!” from the stands of high school games! :)
Christopher means, “One who bears Christ in His heart.” It is also his Daddy’s name! We pray that both our boys will grow up to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, proclaim His existence to the world, and ultimately, live for Him all the days of their life!
Every child is truly a gift, and we are so thankful for these two gifts that we have been entrusted. Raising Godly sons is definitely a charge we take seriously!
