Lucia and Isaac

My friend Jerry is about to have his third child and recently posted a bulletin on MySpace asking for help with name suggestions. I found that to be such an intriguing and uniquely modern option; having this forum where you can discuss name possibilities and get everyone's creative input and ideas. So, I asked him about the bulletin idea and whether it was successful as well as the name stories behind his first two children. Here's PART 1 of his responses. 

When I ask Jerry about the process of choosing his children's names he says, "It is a strange and beautiful process. The right name just clicks instantly." 

ISAAC ALEISTER

Isaac in Hebrew means "Laughter" and the story is, I believe, that Ruth laughed when the angel told her she would bear a child...at her age. That child of Abraham was Isaac. You know my appreciation for the Qabala and all. Isaac assumed his namesake as a behavioral trait very early-only. A few months into his life and he was laughing his ass off and is still laughing his ass off. His middle name is Aleister...I couldn't resist as I like the way it sounds and the derivation from Alexander is interesting. He is Isaac the Great! Not to sound pretentious, but the kid is a genius. He can operate multiple programs (music player and game) on a PC and successfully navigate through the paint program to match his color recognitions and presentations as he states, "now I do green, click/click, TADA!" and the screen turns green. Then he shuts it down properly, all at 1 year 8 months old AND no one showed him how to use the computer ever.

LUCIA SOPHIE

The first name derives from Lucifer, the Illuminated One, the Angel of Light and implies enlightenment or illumination. Sophia is translated to mean wisdom. For me, she is my Light and Wisdom. She cured me of many bad habits and destructive behaviors. She truly is a happy baby girl that loves her Daddy - the battery of slobbery kisses I get daily is almost unbearable. Like the sound of the name itself, she is truly beautiful...especially when she is scarfing down her peaches and throwing unwanted portions of cheerios on the floor.
