Hello, his name is.............................
Baby Hish is finally getting his name: YOSHIAKI KAMBAYASHI 神林良明 ヨシアキ
This wasn't easy, but after talking thru with Nori, we think the meaning of the words is the best that represent our wishes to the baby:
Yoshiaki = 良明
良= well being (in characteristic), good quality, nice
明= bright, happy, positive
You might wonder why not some of the other options?! here are few of our thought process:
- 宏明 Hiroaki Kambayashi: the sound of "Hiro" is similar to "Hero", might not be good nick name when he goes to school here...
- 宏幸 Hiroyuki Kambayashi: same
- 克幸 Katsuyuki Kambayashi: a little bit difficult to pronounce, but it does has good meaning
- 孝拓 Takahiro Kambayashi: this was the 2nd choice we were battling about. But at the end, we felt a much stronger meaning with "明" than "拓". As far as "孝", it has a good meaning ("respect" eldery, ancestor.....), but we prefer to look forward in the kid's future, than looking back in the past. And Nori has the same character in his name already too. ("Nori" = Noritaka 神林法孝)
Afterall, these are all names with good meaning, but we got to pick one at the end, so that's when Yoshiaki becomes our son's name. And "Yoshi" will be the way how most people will call him, just like "Nori". (isn't this also a good transition from "Hish" to "Yoshi"?)
Anyway, thanks for voting the names earlier, it is really fun seeing what you all have written, and you should see how me and Nori laugh about all your comments. Thanks.
(Oh Heiman, since u will be leaving, so I assume there is only 1 Yoshi , not including your 5lb fuzzy cuttie.....^_^)
Thanks everyone.

(P.s.- "Yoshi" is in his 1 month count down, so he can come out and meet all of you....he can't wait)

I like the name, and the little boy is so so cute, even inside his mother stomach. I am pretty sure he will be a smart and cutie little prince.
Take good care, and relax.

Hey,
I like this name, and your idea that you want to think about the kid's future, not the past :P
Take care, especially Nori --- escaping from a crib is a dangerous act ! haha (Have just seen the photos ... funny !)

Remarkable choice !Your son Yoshi should be proud to have such considerate parents not only for his name but also for the years to come.
I like the meanings of the name YOSHIAKI are translated out...very thoughtful!! Again, I am completely for the name YOSHI...it's a good name...the baby is going to be so sweet and precious. I'm so excited for you guys and definitely will come visit again in a month or two...can't wait to meet the little guy. Take care!!
I think that name is perfect!
