About his name:
I always wanted to name a son of mine "Jack", mostly after my Grandpa, but also because I think it's a cool name.
We couldn't name him Jack with us all being "M"'s – and played with the "M" letter exchange – to "Mack".
Smooooth, and of course, also the name of the revolutionary turtle of Dr. Seuss.
I like naming kids after revolutionary turtles.
But My One True Darling felt it needed something…more. So, in spirit of things Scotch – honoring my Grandpa Jack who has strong Scottish roots, we thought Quinn felt right.
Like a well fitting glove, it slipped right around "Mac".
Quinn, "wise counsel", born in the year of the water dragon.
Yes.
MacQuinn.
His Vietnamese name is "Minh Long" – which means "bright dragon" – and it connects him with Micah, whose Vietnamese name is "Xuan Minh" – "bright spring".
Minh Long.
Beautiful boy.
We are happy you are here.
He is bonny and bright, so glad for all of you. <3
He is so gorgeous, and you look beautiful also….
and Mack is a super cool nickname…

Congrats!! Love his name
Get some rest!!
Gorgeous, both of you.
*sigh*
wonderful, gorgeous, delightful!! Blessings on you all!
Great story – I seriously thought his name was going to be Boo. I like – no love – MacQuinn. When I first read the name I figured it was becasue he was the 5th family member, but your reasoning is more exciting. Congrats and we look forward to the continued adventures of your family!!!
Congratulations! You both look beautiful…
Beautiful intro to a beautiful boy! How come your kids get the coolest names?
