The problem of being a writer is each day you end up being empty.

The Name, Named: ZABDIEL Clarified

People usually know my kids with their nicknames "Lan-Lan" and "Coco". If you are a Corado Descendant  you will probably noticed that "Lan-Lan" (my first son) is adopted from my father's (Leonardo Sr.)"nickname. Literally their Grandpa. The name Coco (my second son) is taken from their Great Grandpa.  I hope you get it. It's a bit complicated I know but think it over else ask me with a comment or anything then I will explain to the fullest I can. :)

However when it comes to their true  Christian names people hearing it will raised their eyebrows.
As you can see Lan-lan with real name ZABDIEL ILYTCH CORADO and Coco on the other hand is ZABDIEL KIM CORADO .

Now you might ask where on Earth did I got those names.
It's not really that weird, I think the names are just unused. Zabdiel is taken from the Bible. And for whatever reason there are only two persons named in the Bible with name Zabdiel. The first person is the father of Jashobeam, who was one of David's officers (1 Chr. 27:2). And the second person is An overseer of the priests after the Captivity (Neh. 11:14).


Now I'm not a Bible scholar so if I'm wrong here please correct me,

I hope that settles the issue on their common names Zabdiel the two biblical persons and two most special gifts in my life.

But we don't stop there how about the second names which is ILYTCH and KIM  
I took the name ILYTCH from "Piotr Ilytch Tchaikovsky" I like his songs, and I love his classics better than anyone on his era. ( I have a collection of his concerto's even at college believe me). Another inspiration is a popular character "Ivan Ilyich" by Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy.

KIM is chosen by my wife, she might have special meanings and it's better to ask her, because she is not into blogging. (Shes into Facebooking!) When she picked the name only one thing comes to my mind. Remember the popular book by Rudyard Kipling, entitled Kim! That is for Kimball O'Hara! How is that sounds?


 I hope this makes sense!
