Asa

I have new news about Little Man :) 

I recently discovered that his family calls him by his middle name-----which means we can too, because it does not reveal his identity. 

Asa.

(ayyyy-sah). Sounds a lot like "HEY SON!" when you're yelling his name to stop at the stop sign. 

Asa was a name I'd never really heard of before. I knew it was biblical, but curiosity got me online looking for its background. Lemmetellyou, IT IS A COOL NAME.

In Yoruba Nigeria, Asa means Little Hawk.
In Igbo Nigeria, Asa means Beautiful.
In Indonesian, Asa means Hope.
In Japanese, Asa means Morning or Dawn. 
In Hebrew, Asa means Healer, Physician, Doctor

Then there's the famous people...

King Asa in the Old Testament ruled during Kingdom of Judah and was father to Jehoshaphat. He was the first righteous and fair leader born into a string of wicked Kings who came before him.

Asa Griggs Chandler who founded the Coca-Cola Company.

Asa Philip Randolph who was an African-American civil rights leader who founded the first black labor union.

ANYWAYS, Little Man's first name isn't even this cool. ASA. I love it so much it's learned a spot on my list for the future. Stay blessed.
