My husband and I jokingly asked my daughter what she would name a brother. She replied "Spider," as she's a big Spiderman fan at the moment. I then gave her a list of names for the middle and she chose Piers.
While I obviously wouldn't name my child Spider I'm surprised it hasn't shown up. I hear so many animal names and off-beat names, Spider would fit right in.
Also, thoughts on Piers? I like it, but we wouldn't use it. We're big sci-fi / fantasy nerds in the house and Piers is connected too closely to Piers Anthony for my liking.
The moral of Pete's story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song... because it's all good.
