When Michael and I were talking about names for a boy, we weren't too crazy about any of the family names. None of them felt right. For some reason, Oliver came to mind and we both liked it. Oliver is English. Here is the meaning of the name: The olive tree. The biblical olive tree symbolizes fruitfulness and beauty and dignity. Extending an olive branch signifies an offer of peace. When he was about 6 months old, someone pointed out that he has an upside down peace sign in the veins on his head. So he is our man of peace.
I am not sure if this is a weird coincidence or if all babies have an upside down peace sign on their head. To me he was meant to be my little man of peace. I tried to get a picture of it. I hope you can see what i am talking about.

I see it! That is cool! We need to get together so the kids can play and we can hang out!
That is wild! xoxo
ps, your suggestion was perfecto. ;O)
I saw the peace sign for the first time. It's much more pronounced when he's right in front of you. However, since the sign is upside-down or inverted, I must warn you... this could actually mean he will become a man of war. Perhaps a tyrant or third world dictator of some kind. Difficult to fathom.
Regardless, I still want a bunch of those girl scout cookies.
