Morse has captured the imagination of the population, thanks to spy movies and books. Since Samuel B. Morse invented this code for the purposes of communication, his innovation has overshadowed his name. But if one were to separate the two and look at it on its own, Morse can mean one of two things—“dark-skinned” or “son of Maurice.” While these meanings may not hold true for your little one, there’s no denying that they are going to have everyone in the palm of their hands. Let’s face it, with this moniker in place, who can’t help but grow up to be an effective communicator? Before you know it, baby Morse will be out there helping bridge gaps and forging world peace. Is there a worthier cause?
