[Opinions] Birth Announcement
Ex manager of mine had a baby recently. Their older son is the same age as my oldest. His name is Indiana, not sure of mn. New little one is named Emmett Theodore, but they are calling him Doc after the movie character. I like Theodore. Wdyt?

That is massively movie-ish, but has a neat kind of adventure-scholar feel to it.I hope Indiana's middle name is Jones, just because I love Harrison Ford so much. :)I think Doc is a better nickname for an adult who has earned an MD or a PhD, mostly because my retired-physician grandfather is called Doc and a former teacher of mine who had earned his doctorate is called Doc exclusively. I think it seems silly on a baby. I imagine a toddler writing a dissertation and giggle.

Cute. I don't really like the nn Doc, I see that as more of a nickname for a dog or a fish or some sort of pet. But I think Emmett Theodore is cool and I like it as a brother to Indiana. I can totally see an Emmett Theodore hanging around with an Indiana Jones-type person... :P

I like Emmett and even Indiana, but together and with Emmett using the nickname Doc it's too many 80s movie characters in one sibset for me.
