FMK - Your names

The simple fact of the matter is this, choosing names for your children is incredibly difficult. What name do I want to call you by for the rest of your lives? Boys names vs Girls names. Do we name something safe like John or Sarah? Do we go adventurous? Do we lose our collective minds like celebrities tend to do? Apple, really, and Bronx. Seriously? The way we figure it is that you will get a "regular" first name and an "interesting" middle name. Those names will be taken from people in the family already, Daniel or Richard, and from pop culture we like, Parker or Logan. See, I am writing this now really to confess that you, boys or girls, will probably end up named for a comic book character. This way, if anyone tells you differently, you can have it in writing. The problem is that I am a Marvel fan while your mother is a DC fan. And there is no denying that DC characters have garbage names. ( I really wanted to write shitty instead of garbage but I showed some restraint. Go me!) So, not only will you be named after comic book characters but they will most likely be Marvel characters. What this means at its core is that you are never allowed to not like Spiderman or Wolverine. If you end up hating the names we chose, please know that we tried to pick names that were cool and functional at the same time. And sorry, you can always change them later.
