Personal experiences with the name Levi: | Edit

I live in San Francisco. I named my son Levi after his great x4 grandfather when he was born in April 2006. We personally know 2 other Levi's who live near us here in the city--one also born in April and one born in June. My Levi has been in the same daycare/preschool with the other April-born Levi since the time they were 10 months old. Clearly, the name is on the uptake. Go Levi!

My Levi was born in October 31,2006 and at the time the only Levi I knew. Now I see it was fairly popular and I had no idea! I later learned that the name means 'to bring together' and that's exactly what our Levi did to join our two families together. My words exactly, GO LEVI!
