He Has A Name
Levon Cobbs Weatherford.
Cobbs because that was Vergil's grandma's middle name and she meant so very much to Vergil when he was growing up and when he was grown up and to Jessie when she became part of Vergil's family. I'll never forget her telling me about how she was there the night that Jessie and Vergil met. It was at a dance and she said that all the girls had set their caps for Vergil but once he danced with Jessie, that was it.
And I believe it. They are still dancing and I think they always will be and I think that the spirit of Grandma will always be smiling on them.
And Levon.
That's been one of Jessie's top favorite choices for a long time.
It's a beautiful name and it gives tribute to one of the mightiest and best musicians this country has ever known- Levon Helm who was the drummer for The Band. If you aren't familiar, google.
I could not be happier. I could not imagine a more perfect name for this boy, my fifth grandchild.
I am drowning in the righteousness of it all.
Hello, Levon Cobbs. You are loved.
Love...Ms. Moon

Congratulations... and I like the name Levon very much too.
ReplyDeleteLevon Cobbs is the most perfect name for him. He looks like a Levon, it suits him well.
ReplyDeleteAnd he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan...
Levon, I like it! So unique!
ReplyDeleteAwesome name! I have a question...do babies born at home have to be registered with the county or anything? I mean, surely some government entity wants to be in the know. These are the types of things I think of when I can't sleep....
ReplyDeleteOh yes. The midwife reports all of the birth certificate information to the county. She is licensed and must adhere to specific regulations.
DeleteIs it pronounced Lee-vahn? Just curious!
ReplyDeleteAnd I had to mention this...my husband was a professional drummer for over 20 years...and Levon was born on his same birthday. A set of drums may be in that child's future! 😊
DeleteJust like Levon Helm. Lee-von. Or Lee-vahn, as you said.
DeleteWow- strange coincidence about the birthdays!
Wonderful name, Levon Helms, and the Elton John song! Such a beautiful boy, and he shall be a good man, because he has such good genes an such a loving family. xo
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment similarly! I have that song in my head now. And we know he will be a good man!
DeleteElton John's song immediately sprang to mind. well, the boy has a tag and it's a good one. as for being your fifth grandson, I think Maggie might have something to say about that in her pretty tutus. now you outnumber me in grandkids.
ReplyDeleteOh Ellen! Thank you. I went back and fixed it. I plead martini night. Also- pure worn-outedness.
DeleteI caught that too, and chuckled. :)
Deleteloving this! many atheist blessings to you all on this fine day!
