If you are familiar with the "Sex and the City" series then you will know there was a character named Aiden on the show (Alicia always loved this name). We agreed many years ago that this would be the name of our first boy.
The (Historical) Origins and Meaning of the name Aiden:
The name Aiden is Gealic and means "Little Fire"
St Aidan was the founder of the monastery of Lindisfarne in north England. He is credited with the restoration of Christianity to Northumbria.
Aiden's middle name is "Pete". My grandfather Harold Payne Weaver was an important figure in my childhood. People called him "Pete" as a nickname. I wanted to honor my late grandfather through my sons name. To this day I think of my "Papa" a lot and hope that I can teach my child the love, gentleness, moralilty and respect that my grandfather has instilled into me.
The Turner name arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. I will be posting the family crest as soon as I confirm the history of the family.

Kevin & Alicia you have given us something great to look forward to. I'm tickled that he's going to be so close in age to Lane & Colton & they'll have each other to grow up with!! It's nice having the little ones around during family gatherings!!!!
