“What’s in a name?”

A foolish 13 year old girl once argued that calling a rose by any other word would still smell as sweet, therefore concluding that the name of things do not matter, only what things are.

Then came the mission of naming my boy…

Test-Drive the Name

No rhyming with Vick, Doc, and Loobs…

My dad shouldn’t have more than one friend with the same name? We’re not having a 90 year old!

Literary references are only acceptable if my wife’s idea of “real literature” does not run toward Fifty Shades of Grey!

The local kindergarten shouldn’t have 19 children enrolled with the same name!

Elvis, Bono, Ludwig or even Bowie- partly in admiration of past musicians, are acceptable names if the boy can carry a tune…

How bout Luca?
