First of all, both of us like unusual/different names. We also both apprecitate a name that can be shortened into a nick name (Like Bob from Robert or Nate from Nathan). In her case, Sevyn already goes by Sevy when Courtney talks to her and we've also thought if she ever wanted to she could go by Evyn.
Sevyn also holds more meaning than you might think. Nathan actually already has 7 tattooed on his arm (little money saver there lol), he did it himself and he has always had a bit of an affinity towards the number. Seven is also a charecter from Star Trek Voyager, and yes, we know there is actually an entire Seinfeld episode dedicated to naming a child Seven after Micky Mantel's number. But as far as meaning of the actual name SEVYN goes, there is not one. We like that - to us it says that this girl will define herself...Every day we hope that as parents we raise a woman that will be her own person, un afraid of being different if she wants to.
Facts about the number 7 - the starting point for Sevyn's name:
There are seven wonders of the ancient world.
Many Preists believe that the number seven represents perfection.
There are seven virtues.
There are seven petitions in the Lords Prayer.
There are seven continents in the world.
There are seven colors of the rainbow.
There are seven days in a week.
The limits of human cognitive capacity lie within the range of 7 + or a - 2.
There are seven basic musical notes, 'do', 're', 'me', 'fa', 'so', 'la' and 'te'.
And - We like it, we think she will really have a lot of fun as Sevyn.
Cherise is a family name. It comes from Nathan's mom, it was her middle name and is very special to us. It also makes her name sound really beautiful.
