Asher XT Gordon

"Naming is the origin of all things..."  -Lao Tzu

 

 

Chris and I spent a lot of time deciding on a name for our child.  We wanted a name that stood for important things in each of our lives, and something of a directional guide for our child.  Meet Asher XT Gordon.  Asher means "Happy Boy" in Hebrew.  That is a reference to a big factor in my life, my father (and Asher's grandfather Barney Gordon).  His middle letters are not initials (they had a hard time understanding that at the hospital.  We each picked a letter with great meaning to us.  X: is for Malcolm X, a noble-American hero,  T: is for Grandma Teresa Bucalo.  All three of these people touched, or changed, or shaped our lives- and now they will shape him in a new way.
