HelpRe: Yet another Birth Announcement apparently
in reply to a message by Manipura
ITA it seems like the "4th child" and candy bar things are just an after-the-fact rationalization, for using a name they liked because it had an image and sound they liked. From the screen, not from literature. Like Darcy and Dante.
maybe I'm projecting my own shallowness but since you said it too, it seems we're that much more likely to be correct.
Want to see the sibling names.

The candy reference, especially, is so embarrassingly silly I'm surprised they even mentioned it to people. I mean, come on; what would they have done if the favorite candy was Krackel or Twix or, god help us all, Mounds? They could easily get away with the movie/book reference (though the fact they misspelled Dartagnan doesn't make it hold a whole lot of water) but the candy bar thing is something too dumb for adults to say out loud like it's sincere.

Well I did get a good laugh at the idea of a Mounds Candy named child at least
