When my strong-willed sister was having her first baby, she wanted the name
Esmerelde (Ez-mer-EL-duh) for a girl.

My dear late grandmother smiled and told her she could name her child
anything she wanted, and doubtless she would. However, she recommended that
she stand at the back door to her home and scream the name 30 times at the
top of her lungs, because that's how she was gonna hear it for the next 18
years of her life.

Her sons are named Robert and Terry.

Good advice. I always thought that I wanted my kids' names to flow together
smoothly and kept trying out, "C'mon, guys, let's go to Trevor and Brenna's
house!" to see how it sounded.

I did that!

A friend told me he let the older brother name his little brother, because
the big brother would be the one to call the little one when Daddy said,
"Jonathan, go get your brother." :)
