Very Needy Today

Ok, one more time--please comment, anyone who reads this, you must have an opinion one way or the other.  I promise not to think you're stalking me even if we don't talk that often (or ever, and I don't even know you) and you comment...which is totally something that I assume people will think about me if I comment on something, because I'm kind of a crazy person, but which is mostly the reason I'm just a lurker on blogs and not, you know, a contributing member and whatnot.

So, baby names.  It's a boy (if you couldn't already tell from the baby shower pictures).  I thought we had decided on a name (and by we, I mean Jason pretty much got to pick, but I have veto power):  Robert Leroy Parker.  Which was fine, I didn't LOVE the name Robert (no offense to any Roberts out there), but I was fine with it, and Jason for some reason inexplicably LOVES the name Leroy.  And it's his Grandpa's middle name.  And he's also using it to honor his awesome Great Uncle Leo, who I, unfortunately, never got to meet, but that's beside the point.  Also, it's the real name of Butch Cassidy, like, the whole thing, "Robert Leroy Parker". 

So, in conclusion, I thought we had decided on a name, but really this was actually the second place name because I had previously vetoed Leroy as a first name.  But then on the drive back to LA from the Bay Area, Jason had a nice solid 6 hours to wear me down (what a pushover I am).  So now, he's proposing Leroy Charles Parker, and of course there is justification for this one too:

He is identifiying the caveat that I can just call him Charlie (which I really like and which is the first name of MY really awesome Great Uncle), and since I will call him Charlie and Jason will call him Leroy, he'll just get to pick which name he likes better for his friends, etc. to call him later.  So, why "Leroy Charles" and not "Charles Leroy"?  Well, that is the exact name of his Grandpa, which he thinks is too much, you know, wants to honor him, but not quite with the whole thing.  I don't know, I'm definitely considering this much more than before because I really do like the name Charlie.  Also, as Jason pointed out, when I do use his first name ("Leroy Charles Parker, get in here!") he will know that I seriously mean business and that he had better start wtih the explaining and whatnot, which is kind of true and cute.  Jason really wants to bring this name out of retirement...

So what do YOU think?  Am I crazy?  PLEASE I NEED YOUR HONEST THOUGHTS ON LEROY
