I am saving a longer explanation of his name for a real post, but I realized I didn't mention that, in the end, we did not formally name our son 'Baby Tiger Roberts,' despite the big leg up that would have given him with the ladies and with job interviews. His name is Owen Geng-Ming Roberts. We're still calling him 小虎 (Xiao Hu, pronounced kind of like "shao who") which means 'Little Tiger'. This is a common format for nicknames in Chinese, to add 'Little' or 'Big' to some character in the name, or some personality trait.
More on each part of his name soon.
