What's in a name?

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes

~ Romeo and Juliet, Act II Scene II



For those of you who don't already know, Guy's full name is Guy Dennis Guidry, Jr. Seeing as our baby is a boy, he would like to name him (yep, you guessed it) Guy Dennis Guidry, III. Now the name is fine - for my guy. But for the little one, I would like him to have his own identity. Its already confusing enough when we go to visit his dad ~ we've got big Guy and little Guy. So now what will we have? Baby Guy, Old Guy?

Please, don't tell me "well, you can call him Trey." Not to offend anyone, but I don't really care for that. And Trip just sounds too preppy. Besides, what's the point of giving someone a name that you'll never call them by, unless you are screaming at them at the top of your lungs to stop whatever it is that they are doing and get their butt to the dinner table?

I would like to know your thoughts, 1 vote per visitor please... See the poll over to the left.
