in reply to a message by Nikki
UN: Diamante04
LN: Ward
DH: John William Ward (28)
DW: Elisabeth Marie (Thompson) Ward (26)
DD/DS: Sara Elisabeth Ward / John William Ward, Jr. (5)
DD: Kate Madeleine Ward (2)
Random event number: 48
John told you that he want to change his name. Why and what do you do? What do he want to change it to? You can replace any of his names with a new one from the namebank if you want to.
We've welcomed the newest addition to our family! Kate Madeleine Ward came into the world happy, healthy, and beautiful. Her big brother and sister absolutely adore her, particularly Sara who loves to watch her, hold her, and can't wait to play with her.
Recently, John came home from kindergarten and insisted that he wanted to change his name to Max, which happens to be the name of his best friend's brother. He explained that Max is a 'cool' name and that he no longer wanted to be John, or Johnny, as his sister, Sara, calls him. Needless to say, John seemed to be rather disappointed with the announcement, since he is named for him.
One evening after school, I talked to Johnny and asked him who he looked up to more than anyone else in the world. Of course, as he always does, he answered 'Daddy'. So, I told him the story that of when he was born, he was our surprise baby and that I knew he would grow up to be as handsome and as special as his father, and so, I named him John. He looked at me and said that he did want to be like Daddy, and so, John was a 'cooler' name than Max. In fact, he no longer wanted to be called Johnny - only John like Daddy. That'll take time, I think, though, since it does help to keep the names straight, and Sara seems to have quite the affinity for Johnny over John.
