Help[Opinions] Re: Birth Announcement (and one more on the way)
in reply to a message by erb816
When I was in Year 8 we read a book called Don't Call Me Ishmael, about a boy whose parents are Moby Dick scholars or something. I can see a real life Ishmael getting lots of jokes about his name, like the character in the book.

Yeah, all I could think was that kid's gonna be able to say "Call me [firstname] Ishmael... no, really!"
Then again, I'm not sure how many jokes he would get. They aren't making kids read the classics as much in school anymore... until he hits college, he's probably safe nowadays ;-)
