Luke, Mara and Olivia

Luke is an English form of the ancient Roman name Lucas, which is derived from the Latin word “lux” meaning “light.” It came into English by way of the New Testament of the Bible, where Luke is one of the four Gospel writers.

Luke is also thought to be the author of Acts of the apostles, and likely never met Jesus. Saint Luke was born a Greek and a Gentile in Antioch, Syria. He was a physician and it is believed that he may have also been a slave, as it was not uncommon in his day for slaves to be educated in medicine so the family would have a resident physician. Luke joined Saint Paul at Troas in the year 51, accompanying him from Macedonia to Philippi. It is very possible that Luke provided medical assistance to Paul when he had been beaten, stoned or nearly drowned while evangelizing to the Western Roman Empire.  Luke explains in the introduction to his gospel that his writings were inspired by close association with Paul and his companions.

Mara: Hebrew origin meaning "bitter", and carries the implication "strength". Biblical: Naomi, mother-in-law of Ruth, claimed the name Mara as an expression of grief after the deaths of her husband and sons. Mara means joy in Arabic and can be a unisex name. In Scottish and Irish Gaelic, Mara means the sea.

Olivia: Latin name meaning "olive tree," and the feminine alternative to the boy name Oliver. The name was first popularised by William Shakespeare's character in the Twelfth Night, but in fact, the name occurs in England as early as the thirteenth century. The name has been very popular in the USA, Britain and Australia since the mid 1990s. Olivia was the second-most popular name in the United States in 2018. Since 2014, Olivia has been the most popular given name to girls in the United Kingdom for four consecutive years running.

Your family are huge movie buffs, and in particular,  Star Wars fans. Luke is named for Luke Skywalker and Mara is named for Mara Jade.

Luke Skywalker, a Force-sensitive human male, was a legendary Jedi Master who fought in the Galactic Civil War during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Along with his companions, Princess Leia Organa and General Han Solo, Skywalker served as a revolutionary on the side of the Alliance to Restore the Republic—an organization committed to the downfall of the Galactic Empire and the restoration of democracy. Following the war, Skywalker became a living legend, and was remembered as one of the greatest Jedi in galactic history.

Mara Jade Skywalker was a Force-sensitive human female who was during different times in her life, an Emperor's Hand, a smuggler, and later a Jedi Master who sat upon the Jedi High Council. She was raised as a servant and assassin to Emperor Palpatine and became a high-level Force-using operative.

Olivia is named for the charming, unassuming but commanding British actress Olivia Colman (career highlights include British crime drama series Broadchurch (2013–2017), portraying Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix period series The Crown (2019-2020), an Oscar winning turn as the debauched Queen Ann in The Favourite (2018), and leading alongside Anthony Hopkins in The Father (2020).

While other parents in DMV secure personal sports coaches and multiple tutors from early ages for their children, in hopes of pushing them onto  an Ivy League conveyor belt, your children get to enjoy a lot of movies.

Your favorite Smithsonian exhibit is at the Air and Space Museum: “Star Wars: The Magic of Myth” which explored the mythical message of Luke Skywalker's journey from his first call to adventure to his final victory. Showcasing models, costumes, props, and original artwork from the archives of Lucasfilm Ltd., the exhibition traced the Star Wars films-Star Wars: A New Hope (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983), and Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace-and how it presents the young Luke and other characters as archetypes from stories and legends.

You hope that your three children will all become their own Jedi masters of the mystical power known as the Force (described in the original Star Wars film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together".) As long as this does not involve Civil War Re-enactments at Arlington House Arlington National Cemetery/ President Lincoln’s Cottage at the Soldiers’ Home in NW DC/ Cedar Hill/Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in SE DC/ Clara Barton’s Missing Soldiers Office in NW DC or the Walt Whitman Inscription in DuPont Circle. You are not sure why but Civil War re-enactments feel a bit too naff for you while Jedi light saber parties are perfectly fine.

The Force will be with you...always." Obi-Wan Kenobi in "A New Hope."
