The reason behind the name "Weston"

We have named our newest little one "Lukas Weston Tyree". Some folks have wondered where we came up with the name "Weston". When I tell you it will seem obvious to some of the people who have known Chris and I for a while - especially if they are from West Virginia. You see, I met Chris when I was on internship during my last semester of graduate school. We both worked at the state psychiatric hospital in Weston, WV. As we were discussing potential names we wanted to pick something that was special to us. We tried to think if a family name but the names we had to choose from had either been taken already, we're sort of "out-of-date", or were just too unusual for our taste. Then, one of us mentioned "Weston". We thought it was appropriate since "it all started and ends with Weston".
