Compromise

As many of you know, choosing a name for this newest Bachman offspring has proven to be a chore.  Part of it is totally my fault, or rather the fault of the career path that I have chosen. There are many names that just will not do, because I had a kid with that name in my class over the years, and he was the stinky kid, the slow kid, the obnoxious kid, etc.  Part of it is society's fault, because I swear there are lots fewer boy names than girl names to begin with.  And I'm blaming part of it on Jeremy, because he's just as picky as I am.

So, without further ado, this child will be further known as Jackson Drake Bachman.   I got the Jackson and the J.D. initials, and Jeremy picked the middle name.  I don't love it, but I'll deal with it.  Still not sure where he got it from, since this is the only Drake I know:

Professor Lugwig Von Drake of the Ducktales cartoons.  More recently of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cartoons.

Hayley has taken to calling the baby Jackson Drake Cupcake.  I guess if you are going to give your little brother a nickname, it could be a lot worse, right?
