We've been tossed as the name we love and had already grown attached to didn't have the best meaning so we really tried other names but nothing was really working for me so I looked up the German/Austrian Composer of the same name, Joseph Haydn and was pleased to see what a Godly musician he was. This particularly struck me. He was once asked why his music was so cheerful, & he replied: "When I think upon God, my heart is so full of joy that the notes dance & leap, as it were, from my pen, & since God has given me a cheerful heart it will be pardoned me that I serve Him with a cheerful spirit." ...anyway to make a long story short and not wanting to over-spiritualize it, I thought the meaning Cheerful Heart or Cheerful Spirit would be very fitting for him and we even captured one of his first smiles. So without furthur ado I give you.....
Awesome name! Love you guys so much and miss you. Wish I could see you all for Christmas!
