Naming Vern

Ok readers WARNING – IF you do not know Vern’s real name this blog is not going to make a lot of sense to you but for those that do know his real name it will.


Looking back I guess it must have been divine intervention on the naming of Vern. The older siblings were on the way to the hospital to visit their new brother and Vern STILL did not have a name. There was just nothing that sounded right or could be agreed upon. I wanted a 7 letter name because that is how many letters his brother and sister’s names have. Vern’s dad wanted crazy football star names like Eller. It was chaos the entire 10 months! Even after we had decided upon his name I just didn’t know if that should be his name. I was unsure and kept second guessing it. Now all these years later it was the ABSOLUTE right name for him. He is ornery and funny and sensitive and loving and the name is perfect. It is funny how sometimes things just fall into place. This was one of those times.

  1. Egad! You had to settle for less than seven letter's? However did you work your way through that??? ;)
