Share Your Thoughts 2 Comments Rebecca Dec 11 at 12:22 pm We wanted a strong, classic name that is also not so common. We also both happen to be big nerds about all things space, so Neil Armstrong came to mind! Reply Mia Reed-Lewis Jul 29 at 9:08 am I thought it sounded friendly, we love rare-ish names. His older sister is named Olive, I just love Neil and Olive as a name pairing. His middle name is Elliot, (His grandpa’s name) which is really adorable with his first name.
