Harlow: This is a name that has stuck with us for years after we drove by a road name sign. Not a very auspicious story...but it is the truth. We just like it and feel that it fits this person.
Vienn: "Vie" means life -as in: "C'est la vie"
(French) "that's life", "such is life", "that is fate" or "that's how things happen") This little child has already taught us that while we were busy making a plan for her birth, that "life" would find its own way.
Locke: Old English origin, and its meaning is "forest/woods; or fortified place". This child was made with many of our community members way up in the forests of Vermont. We wanted to honor the love and unity of her inception because we believe that the love of our village fortified that space and ushered in the miracle of her. Gwen, Harlow and I are now the Locke family. We will keep our own last names and add Locke to our identities to join with Harlow.
