What is in a name?

As we had done with deciding on a name for Kai, we wanted to keep to our same principles in deciding on the right name for our second baby boy (important meaningful name with the right mix inspirational meanings and people).

Fin:

• This name comes from the Persian Fin garden in Iran (Bagh-e-fin) completed in 1590 which is still open today and a UNESCO world heritage site.  We were able to visit this garden on our Iranian trip and I was so impressed that the fountains and pools were constructed without the use of mechanical pumps but thru sheer engineering design. 

Aran (Are-on):

• Aran is the name of the town Ahmad's paternal grandfather was born and we choose it as a tribute to him.
