Of course we didn't think about that when we named him, but now I feel much better because I discovered that he shares his name with a cricketer by the name Charles Willis and a dinnerware/stemware company.
Yes, I'm a dork! :) Have a good week.

I Feel Better Now
Yesterday evening on the news, they had a segment about Charles Manson. They showed footage of him testifying in court. The moment they chose just happened to be when he stated his name: "Charles Willis Milles Manson." My jaw dropped because that's Charlie's name! (Charles Willis C.) For a second there, I really thought that maybe we should change his name... Manson really creeps me out!

We knew it going in, but of course everybody asks us if we know Hank's full name, John Henry, is a song about a steel-driving former slave. Yes -- we know. They feel so clever, like they are calling us out on something we didn't know before naming him.
I don't think any name is truly unique, or if it is, it is probably weird.
I sort of know how you feel. A week after Ivan was born there was an article in the paper about how boys that have unusual names, such as "Ivan" have a greater likelihood of growing up to be criminals!
Oh well- our boys will just have to leave behind a positive legacy!
Oh no! Haha. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think most of the rest of the world knows him as anything but Charles Manson (I didn't!).
