FMK - Your names

It has been decided. After much debate, discussion and a smidge of filibustering, we have collectively come to a conclusion. Your names are set in stone, again. I don't think they will change this time. I have thought that before. Either way, as it stands right now your names are Daniel Logan and Richard Parker if you are boys and Katy Rose and Penelope Hero if you are girls. The first that needs explanation is Hero. Hero is a character from Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare. Your mother and I love Shakespeare. He is quite simply the greatest writer to have ever lived. Hero, in the play, is the sweetest, most beautiful girl in all the world. It only seems fitting that my daughter would carry the same name. Penelope is a name your mother has loved for a very long time. It is meaningful to her and her childhood. Katy comes from our love of baseball. The song, Take Me Out to the Ballgame is about a girl named Katy. Rose is simply nice and classy. Plus, it is a Doctor Who reference so there you go. Daniel would be named after me, my father, and my grandfather. Logan ties to your Irish roots as well as being comic book related. Richard is the name of your grandfather on your mother's side. Parker again ties to comics. It may seem silly that we are taking names from books, shows, and comics. But, these things are important to us. You are important to us. Therefore, your names must fit accordingly. There were many other possibilities. Some you may have even liked more. But, you do not get a say. Not unless you pay for it anyway. Which of you gets which name is something that is still up for debate. If both of you are girls then whomever looks like a Katy or a Penny gets that name. With boys, the first one gets Daniel Logan. Boy and Girl, Daniel Logan for the boy and we will have to see about the girl. Regardless, by the time you read this you will know what your name is. It may be none of these. Whatever it ends up, I am sure it will be right. I am sure that having both of you is right so your names must be.
