The baby name game post, was, of course, an April Fool's joke. We've been playing it for a while, though. Anytime someone asks us what names we're thinking, we often respond with some of those.
Andy Drew, because the oldest nephew on both sides of the family is Andrew, and both sets of parents have been set that his name is "Andrew" and never "Andy." (Which is fine with us, we just like to tease). We also talk a lot about how if you really like a name, but your sibling(s) used it, why can't you, still? Really, what's the big deal of having a cousin with the same name? Or even a friend who has a child with the name--what are the chances they will grow up together and hate being named the same, anyway?
Many people who hear we are pregnant with a boy say, "congrats on Sam Jr." So, we joke that will be his name--but not a Samuel Smith Jewkes, Jr. (or II), but just simply "Sam Junior Jewkes." I actually find this quite hilarious.
And, due to how much we support what our President is doing to change our country by putting us in trillions of dollars in debt (can you sense our sarcasim?), we joke about naming baby after him. My maiden name (Blackham) goes quite well with it, too, don't you think?
What's up with Theo Dore and Felix? We saw those names while going through the composers in the hymn book one day during church....but Theo Dore is just more funny than Theodore.
Maybe in another day or so I'll post some of the real names we are considering.
Stay tuned.
