Micah Aiden - The story behind the name

I've been meaning to post the meaning of Micah's name for a while now.  His name has special meaning.  It wasn't intended but is pretty cook that all of our names will begin with M and his initials will be the same as mine.

Micah Aiden Dean

Micah is a variation of Michael, which is Scott's first name.  It is a Hebrew name meaning "who is like God or gift from God".  We chose it because of the "gift from God" meaning.

Aiden is a Gaelic name meaning "little fire".  This name was chosen from a list of names I composed that I thought sounded good with Micah.  Of the list of names, this was our favorite.  We definitely didn't choose the middle name based on anything besides simply liking the name but after learning the meaning it fits.  In high school several people called Scott little dynamite in football and a few people called me firecracker.  And it appears Micah is already going to be a "little fire" all his own.  His little light won't be put out!
