So, a lot of people are giving us grief about not telling the name. One group of people who beg me to tell them the name are my students! The beg me, telling me they won’t tell anyone, as if that makes a difference. Some start guessing, which is totally ridiculous. Some ask for the first letter, which I considered, but eventually said no (not even our family know even the first letter). The most creative question was, “What were the other names you considered?” In my opinion, an excellent questions, because it gives you an idea of the type of name the parents would pick. But no luck, our lips are sealed (for the most part, we have slipped) and we won’t tell you.
