Birth announcement: Taavi Ross!

Birth announcement: Taavi Ross! | Name News | Scoop.it
Taavi (pronounced tah-vee) is a derivative of David and means “beloved”. It was a name we found after you and I did the consultation, so not one I had mentioned to you. My husband and I love the sound, the meaning, and the nod to both the poet-king and the bishop Saint who is also the patron of poets! Ross is a family name on my husband’s side.

Big brothers Alyosha and Moses are adorably proud.

Welcome, Taavi. I love all these sibling names together.
