... by any other name


While I have failed to keep with my ideal posting record, I am trying to keep up. You know how it is. When life is organized with even the slightest semblance of structure, it is easy to keep with routine. When chaos takes the place of structure, even the simplest of tasks can fall by the wayside. Laundry piles up; the dishes grow little green and white things; and blogs fail to keep with current events. But I digress…


As my last post mentioned, our boy will be Alberto Antonio Colabella il Quarto. However, we had some trouble settling on what we would actually call him. Ab would be kind of confusing in the household seeing as how there would be two of us. Albert is not quite en vogue with the times… it will probably take about 30 years for that to happen. We have settled on Anthony. It is a good name I think. The Wife is insistent that no one call him Tony, and I happen to agree. Nicknames, of course, are welcome, and I would love to hear some preliminary ideas in the comments section. In fact, Adam has already settled on Q, which, quite frankly, kicks some serious ass.


I will be back, hopefully soon, and next time I will take it easy on the italics.

Dad calls him "goose".
No idea why... he just does. I'm sure plenty of nicknames will come from him.. i'm a little scared

Brandon is the nickname-giver in our relationship, so I'll let him come up with something clever.

As a mom, that picture makes me nervous. How close is that soft, wet hand to the cheese grater? TOO CLOSE! Remove all dangerous objects please!

"Goose" was actually started by Dusty when we ate Greek in OKC. Top Gun led to Anthony Edwards led to Goose. He probably mentioned it to your Dad. I will say though, that it is an excellent nickname.

I think "goose" was his own creation. I mentioned that you and Dusty and already tagged that and he had no idea. That MIGHT just be the name that sticks. HA!

All great men have a number of names. Shaquille O'Neil, for example.

And to correct the story about the origin of "Goose." We were talking about calling the boy, Tony. At this point, we started talking about famous Tonys, and Tony Siragusa came up. Hence, Goose. Moments later, we realized the other (more historically important 'Goose') was played by Anthony Edwards. So it fit on two levels.

Whether Dad heard the name from me and forgot, or came up with the name independently is a matter of speculation, and can probably never be answered.

I like 'Goose.' I also like 'Q' as a nickname. The important thing is that the name carry a certain swagger.
