"Lil' Wayne"

So, I thought I should clarify how the baby has gotten his/her REAL nickname. At times we do refer to "it" as Ralphie, or Little Dubs (W for Wheeler), but until May whenever, he/she will be Lil Wayne, or Waynette.

About a year ago Luke and I made a fascinating realization that our dad's had something strangely in common. When I say strangely, I really mean that. Apparently, back in the day mother's named their children after their OBGYN. Yes, after their gynecologist. 

This may have been the thing to do back then, however, Luke and I are not even considering this "fad" from the 50's (Don't worry!). 

Well, OUR grandma's OBGYN's name was Wayne Allen. My dad is Thomas Allen, and Luke's dad is Gary Wayne. We thought this was quite the coincidence and nicknamed the baby Wayne Allen. haha. In short, we call him/her "Lil' Wayne". My mom decided that if it is a girl, we should name her Sue Ann; after Patricia Sue and Deborah Ann. That would def. be playing it fairly. Although we are not really going to name the baby Wayne Allen, Wayne Allen Wheeler has a nice ring to it..hehe.

Every name that we have come up with, Luke has to make sure that it makes a good football player name. So, he takes the name and inserts it into the following... [Imagine the typical football announcers voice].."And now...number 12 [baby's name] Wheeler", and to follow is some cheesy football synthesizer. Sadly, some of the boy names I have chosen he announces them as being on the cheerleading squad, rather than the football team :( That means they are automatically out of the picture.

Lil' Wayne is actually a rapper, and let's all take a moment and say a quick prayer that the baby DOES NOT end up like the real  Lil' Wayne. See picture.
