So picking a name for our son that 'wasn't already taken' was important. Thankfully, we were still able to inform our choice with our faith. We chose Michael as his first name because he has a cousin about two months younger than him who is named Gabriel (we stayed with the archangel theme). We chose Joseph as his middle name because he was born on May 1 which in the Catholic Church is the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker (a relatively recently created feast--one that specifically countered the communists' 'May Day' celebrations). A friend of mine jokingly said that since he was born on May 1 he should have been named Karl, Vladimir, or Mao. My wife is the oldest of 11 and has dozens of cousins.
