What's in a name?

When we were pregnant, it took us a LONG time to come with a name.   Joe wanted something with meaning and I just wanted a name that didn't bring up unpleasant teacher memories or that was super-duper easy to make fun of. 

It seems to me that this school year Jairus has been pretty adamant that his name is "Jairus Lee Wolfe."  If someone asks him...he tells the whole thing.   If you try to throw in a different middle name, he will quickly correct you. 

Well, sometime in the last few weeks Jairus has added "Superman" to his name.   With consistency, he has been telling us that he is "Jairus Lee Superman Wolfe."    Interesting since he has never seen Superman.  But, we think he is super, so that is ok! :)

When we were with Grandpa over break he called Jairus "Jairus Bunny."  (He calls all the grand kids their names with bunny added on the end.)   Jairus wasn't too happy with that to begin with, but then he quickly adjusted.   He told Grandpa to call him "Jairus Lee Superman Wolfe Bunny."    Whew, that is a mouthful!  

Well, here we are several days later and that is the name that has stuck!  Hope he has fun bubbling in all those letters on the standardized tests.  Hee Hee.  :) :)
