 I think it's a combination of several things.
1. you were a big part of his life
2. it's a cool name
3. his wife loves the name (but doesn't associate it with you).
Are you sure that HE actually got to pick the name? (*hence #3)
I don't think many women are overjoyed if their spouse wants to name THEIR child after an ex. Men are more relaxed about that lol. If I had had a boy I would have named him after my first love, because HE meant a lot to me and because I have always loved the name he carries.
I wouldn't read a huge deep meaning into it, honestly.

 Sometimes, when romantic relationships work out, we still hold a place in an ex's heart. Not in a romantic way, but he probably values you in a platonic sense, as a person. Maybe he's not in love with you now, but you're still special to him. Or he liked your name.
I'm just curious, what is your (first) name? For safety reasons you may not wanna put it on the boards. But you may send me a pm. I'm curious now. Maybe you just have a cool name.
I know I have my name on the boards, but I have a very common first name. :-( Sara... so boring.

I think that is very endearing. You should take this as a HUGE compliment. It is obvious that you had meaning in his life.
I don't think you need to get too wrapped up in this. As he has moved on and so have you. Take this as sweet jesture and smile!

 I think it's a compliment to you. It means that you meant a lot to him and he thought you were special. He admires you up to this day, maybe not in a romantic way, but he admires your character.

I do think it's a weird thing for him to do. It's one thing if he likes your name, but if I were his wife I wouldn't be happy about it. It sounds like he's thinking of you, though, and feels you were a positive part of his life. Maybe things aren't so great between him and his wife and he's trying to dig up some old stuff.
