Slightly OT Eoin and Insiya Finn have a baby boy

andtckrtoo · 02-19-11, 09:54 PM

The littlest Finn was born today. A little boy! Congrats to the happy parents. Details as we get them.

Bless Eoin - I had a question about yoga poses for a friend with cancer who is bed ridden at the moment, and he answered me personally last night. What a wonderful man.

Congrats to Eoin and his wife! Wonder how flexible this little yogi will be!

Andtckrtoo, I hope your friend gets better soon and thanks for sharing.

I read about that on Facebook. How exciting. I saw an interview with Eoin and he seemed really happy.
Has anyone heard a name yet?

The baby is GORGEOUS!

They had a special "whisper the name in the baby's ear" ceremony, and the tape of that is on fb. His name is Ananda Lion Finn. He is very cute!!

Ananda- sure sounds Girlish to me.

Thanks for the update!

This info must be on Eoin's personal FB page. (Since I prefer to fan rather than friend instructors, I can't see it.)

Cheryl, it may sound unusual to Western ears, but Ananda, which means "bliss," is a popular (male) name in SE Asia, and, among other things, is the name of one of the Buddhas. Given Insiya's heritage (she's from Bali) and Eoin's studies in world religions it makes sense for them. Each family has the right to choose what they feel is an appropriate name for their child, whether we like it or not.
ETA: From my admittedly not large exposure to Indian and related names, there are a lot of strong male names that end in -a, like Ananda, Shiva / Siva, and Aditya (one of the most popular Indian-American baby boy names in recent years). A few of them have told me they never found anything girlish about them, as they were named for gods and other divine beings or great historical and/or mythical kings, monks, warriors, etc.

Yes Kath is right. Many Indian names for boys end in 'A'. In fact. my boys names don't end in a vowel and when I refer to them ast home, I add an "a" to their names. Intersetingly, we add 'i' to girl names at the end

. For example, some names can be either for a girl or a boy depending on just the last vowel. But so as to not give you incorrect information, there are girl names that do with 'a' also in India. Gah.. too difficult to explain.

Selva: Boy name. Selvi: Girl name

There is a theory that the runner's high is caused by "anandamide", the molecule aptly named to imply bliss.

Kath, I saw it in my Twitter feed.

I didn't say I didn't like it, just said it it sounds girlish. So what. I don't care if it was skyblufacebook.

He is adorable! I am so happy for them

Kath and Ooty-thanks so much! I didn't know anything about Indian names and I found the information very interesting.

Take care,
Sherry
