Name Game

I guess I never explained the newest addition's name...
Well, here we go!

He is a family guy.

MANNY - After Kyle's grandpa on his mother's side. His first name was Emmanuel, but everybody called him Manny. I liked Emmanuel, but Kyle wanted to go with the shortened version. Here's what Emmanuel means:
The boy's name Emmanuel \e-mma-nuel\ is pronounced ee-MAN-yoo-el. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "God is with us". Variant of the Hebrew name Immanuel. Biblical: a name-title applied to the Messiah, Jesus.

SOLOMON - This is actually Kyle's original last name. His grandpa on his father's side changed it during WWII. I thought this was super cool. And Solomon means:
The boy's name Solomon \s(o)-lo-mon\ is pronounced SAH-lah-mun. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "peace". Biblical: Solomon, son of David and Bathsheba, succeede his father as king of Israel. He wrote the Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. The wisdom of Solomon is proverbial because when asked what gift he would have from God, he asked only for the wisdom he would need to rule.

So there you have, he's a family guy.

And by the way, the next one will get some of my family names...
