09. Whats in a name

Ripple: What's in a name?
A name. Such a simple thing yet so important. Once Sienna embraced her own sense of self she came to an embarrassing realization ; she not only didn’t know the name of the child she had been protecting, until now she hadn’t even considered giving him one. Perhaps she felt it rude considering that he wasn’t technically hers, and or perhaps it was simply that naming him made it all too real.
Too real or not, the time had come for a proper name. She tried out a few names until she whisper “welcome, David” almost reflexively. David smiled as if approving. It was all just a bit too natural to put Sienna at ease but she thought it best to simply embrace the moment and move on.
