(I'm on a roll, two posts in one day!!)
In my friend's son's class is a boy named Christian. They go to Christian's birthday party, and his dad at one point says, "Atticus, come here please!"
My friend asks, "Who's Atticus?"
The dad says, "Him", indicating the boy they knew as Christian.
My friend says, "Oh, I thought his name was Christian!"
Dad, in kind of a disgusted tone, "Oh that's what his MOTHER calls him. I call him Atticus. But his legal name is Hans."
This was Hans-Christian-Atticus's 6th birthday party. Apparently, they couldn't decide on a name, picked Hans, each used their preferred name. In pre-school, he went by Atticus, in Kindergarten, Christian.
And the kicker? His parents are still married. For now.

Just wow! LOL
With each boy Jim and I argued. He wanted to name a boy after himself (the 3rd, like we are royalty or something) and I wanted them to have their own names.
But we always settled on one name. Poor kid!
That poor child! I can't even imagine...
