What's in a Name?

M: Tyson, what do you want to name your baby brother?

T: I don't know, how about the alphabet?

M: The entire alphabet?

T: Yeah!

M: You want to call the whole alphabet when you want him to come?

T: Yeah!

M: Don't you think that's a little long?

T: No. It will help him grow up better and smarter because he will know the alphabet. And when Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz goes to school the kids will all say "Your name is so long it will barely fit on a name tag!" That's so funny!

Hey! Why not? It could be fun as well as being unique.

1) No one could accuse you of stealing the name they were going to use.
2) When you call him by his full name, he'll REALLY know he's in trouble.
3) You'd get your name in the paper and might even be invited to appear on a few TV talk shows. You always wanted to meet Oprah, didn't you?
4) You could break it up into multiple names, "Lmno" as a middle name isn't ALL bad.
5) No one would ever FORGET his name.
6) Just call him "Abe", "Alphie", or "A. Toozy" (A to Z), for short. Maybe, I'll call him "Toozy" anyway, just for the fun of it. ;-)
