Our 2nd son was born this morning, Tuesday the 23rd. Everything went as perfect as you could hope for & both mom & baby are doing fine. And our baby’s name?
Garrus Wolf!
Quick story about the name: we both love Garrus in the Mass Effect games. But when we did a name search, it turned up nothing. All the results said “just a character in a video game.” So that’s no good! And so for a while we were trying to find other names for him.
Fast forward a few months & we were watching Friday the 13th part 6: Jason Lives. There’s a sheriff in the movie named Garris! We were totally shocked. So we found out that it is a real name, just that the spelling is off by one letter. And it means “spear brave,” which is pretty badass. And just like that, “Garrus” was back on the table & became his official name.
His brother’s middle name is Fox, so we decided to keep the animal theme going (specifically pacific northwest animals) & that’s where Wolf came from. If it were a girl, her middle name likely would’ve been Lynx.
And there you go!

Congrats, also cute name. I like that it's unique!
Since I missed this train, what was your first son's name by the way?

Lol by anyone else it’d be taken wrong, but it is a great honor to me!
Thanks again, everyone!
Our first son’s name is Tristan Fox. My wife has always loved the name Tristan, & she also loves the movie Stardust, whose main character is named Tristan. For the middle name, we were just flipping through a baby name book & I saw Fox in there. We both thought it sounded cool & went with it. Not inspired by X-Files as much as that would play into our sci-fi themed names.
We’re planning on having one more & hoping for a girl. And if it is a girl, the name will likely be River Lynx. If you’re thinking River is inspired by Doctor Who, then you’d be correct. She absolutely loves River Song & we got to meet the actress, Alex Kingston, so now she loves the name even more.
If our 3rd is a boy, then we don’t really have any ideas yet, though she keeps telling me that River is also a boy’s name. She reeeally wants a kid named River!
