We almost named a son George. But that was 25 years ago during Costanza’s reign. So that sort of ruined the name for us.

We feared George would be a hard name if our son turned out wimpy or needed glasses. But our little guy would have pulled it off big time. He would have been a great George. But you just don’t know how they’re going to turn out personality wise when they’re infants.

Your mom and I named you Brigham. We really dislike that name and you cried a bunch at first. So it seemed to fit.
