  1. I really love this name! It sounds so strong and cute for a little boy and a grown up man.
    It’s too popular for girls right now but I think Taylor is the best name for boys.

  2. Taylor Francis Lockaby-Gwinn…
    We came up with Taylor be sure it is his father’s middle name. Francis was my late mother’s middle name, may she rest in paradise. It’s also her birthday today. And Lockaby is part of his father’s biological family’s name, and Gwinn is his adopted foster care parent’s last name.

    His whole name is very meaningful <3
