  1. A strong name for a strong man

  2. My husband and I both were really close to our grandfathers and we knew if we had a boy that he would have both our grandfathers name. Thaddeus was my husband’s grandfather, he worked for NASA, was a kind man who worked hard and lived his family dearly. Even though I never met him just from all of the stories I heard he reminded me of my grandfather and I knew in my heart of heart that the names were meant to be. I also believe in the meaning of the names giving g to your children will dictate their personality and my sons name Thaddeus means courageous heart while Armand means warrior.

  3. Heavenly Feelings
