“What’s in a name”? Well, a lot, but only if you’re willing to dig deeper into it. It’s not just the meaning that defines the kind of person the bearer will be and what all he’ll be capable of doing in his life, but also the initial. So if you’re wondering what the letter I holds for your son, then you’ve stumbled upon the right place.
The letter I, resonating with number nine, represents order and law. This number is the vibration of humanity. Hence people with this initial willingly make sacrifices for those who’re less fortunate than themselves. These compassionate and sensitive people feel happiest and most comfortable when they can help others and give their effort and time to humanitarian causes.
However, the number nine is under the influence of Mars, which may cause volatile and unstable nature. Your son will always be wary of the situation and people around him, which can create potential enemies. He may even blow up at the slightest provocation.
So if you’re looking for a distinctive moniker such as Iavor or Iancu, then check out MomJunction's comprehensive list of baby boy names starting with the letter I. We’re sure you’ll find something suitable for your baby.
