The Name

The name Dalton does not have any sort of meaning, other than we like it. Actually, I suggested it after detailing a Wal-mart store in Dalton,Georgia. Patrick, of course, is a name that Tina and wanted to use in honor of her Dad. Akers may not continue on, but we decided that Patrick would.

If he had been a she, the name would have been Emma Lee. Emma for Tina's grandmother, and Lee for multiple relatives, my mom and Tina's mom. If we have a second, we will use the female name for a daughter, and we'll have to come up with another boy name if the situation presents itself.
