Hi, my name is__________!

William Seamus Ayers.


William: A family name. A strong name. A classic name. My baby's name. My great uncle, Willy is super excited to have a nephew named after him. According to my grandmother, Uncle Willy says "it's about damn time," that someone is naming their child William. William is an English name meaning "strong-willed warrior." http://www.babynames.com/name/William

Seamus: I get a lot of eyebrow raising when I tell people the middle name, especially from the older generations. It is not pronounced the way it is spelled. It is pronounced SHAY-muss. It is an Irish name for James meaning "supplanter." David has a little Irish in his family history,so we wanted something Irish in the name. We also wanted something uncommon and unique. Seamus also is a family name. David's great uncle's middle name was also Seamus. http://www.babynames.com/name/SEAMUS


The original name was Seamus William, but we changed it to prevent childhood bullying.
