The name Shepherd is of English origin and holds a beautiful and pastoral meaning referring to a person who tends to and herds sheep. Symbolically, the name is often associated with qualities such as guidance, protection, and care, drawing inspiration from the pastoral role of a shepherd.
His middle name, Lawrence is of Latin origins and is often interpreted to signify a person of triumph or someone associated with laurel trees conveying a sense of strength, success and timeless charm.
Throughout her pregnancy, Audra shared little snippets of herself and her growing baby bump. In early October, the couple attended an event in Las Vegas, posing on the red carpet in their first public appearance since making the announcement.
