You probably don't know that we picked Dane's name out months before he was born. We were waiting to be sure he looked like a Dane to us. Jackie was still very displeased to be naming her son a one syllable name (What do you call him for short?). She also wasn't happy to continuously answer "Yes, Dane. D-a-n-e" every time paperwork was to be filed. We have heard countless compliments about his name, and are finally at the point where we couldn't imagine him as anything else.
Jackie recently heard her favorite comment on his name. She and Dane were visiting Dane's cousins for lunch at their school. A teacher came to admire Dane (as they often do) and asked his name. Upon hearing it she says "Ooooh, I like that name. It's so dreamy". Jackie had not thought of his name like this and asked for elaboration. The teacher said that it's the kind of name you think of when you reminisce about going gaga over the high school quarterback as a girl. "It makes me think of a hunk".
How about that? There you go, Dane. You have a leg-up on all the 'Bernard's out there. You're welcome.
