Some of you may know that I call my son Spartacus here in part because A. lobbied hard for us to actually name him Spartacus (for variants of "lobbying hard" that involve knowing that I would never let that happen). Somehow this came out at dinner the other night, and now Spartacus is demanding to be called Spartacus in real life.

You can imagine my attempts to explain this to his nursery school teacher, after he told her that he had a different name now.

LOL.
Years ago, one of my friend's sons decided to change his name..to Strawberry. He was five or six at the time. Being the free spirited hippies that we all were, we embraced the change and he was Strawberry for about 4 years, until he got bored and changed it again.
His younger sister decided that if he could do it, so could she. She wanted us to call her Rabbit.

That's very cute! Although I'm amazed he managed to keep the name for 4 years. I think if we let Spartacus rename himself he'd be much less consistent.
