Leo 森 Tatham

Hello! My name is Leo 森 Tatham. (If you only see a square box then your computer doesn't speak Chinese.)
My first name, Leo, is short for ... Leo.
My middle name is 森 or "Sen" in Hanyu Pinyin. 森 means "forest" and is pronounced "sun" when spoken in English with a comic French accent à la 'Allo 'Allo! Imagine René saying "zee sun eez very 'ot".
The Chinese character 森 is delightful and, thankfully, easy to draw. It's a logical aggregate, where a character is repeated to create a new word. The character 木 means tree. Double it, 林, and you get grove. Triple it, 森, and you have a forest.
What an awesome name guys! Can’t wait to meet little Leo! xxoo
Love it! Great name at last. Welcome young master Leo. How very nice to greet you. Such a cute picture too. Pressie in the post, lots of love to Mum, Dad and Big Sister Olive PSLRJ xxxx
That is a fantastic name and very fitting, it is truly lovely. So glad we finally know his name! I have been hitting the blog everyday! Can’t wait to meet him when we fly thru! Hugs to all .xxx
Congrats Sandy & Phil

Well done guys! Congrats! Finally over the jetlag and life slowly returning back to normal. Can the boys and I and bakes come visit on Monday 5 July? No school – Youth day.
Can’t wait to see Leo!
Congrats Sandy & Phil!
