I wanted to name our newest Brady, but the wife and I compromised with Braeden. Wasn't much of a compromise for me since what else would the logical nickname be?
Congrats again and I hope he sleeps better than our little guy does!

Compromise is marriage means the husband caves in and goes on to other important things, like football.
No, no Harry, just Harrison. That one might be a bit of an issue, as my parents believe he will be called Harry no matter what. I don't get why we can't just say, "I'm sorry, but his name is Harrison." As for kids in the schoolyard, well, they'll make fun of anyone's name, even if the kid is named something like Dave or Mike.
I wonder if Harrison Ford ever had those problems?
Anyway, I figure if he gets older and hates his name for one reason or another, he can go by Brady. My husband also goes by his middle name.
On that note, Bella, my oldest (who technically is a Jr.) goes by his middle name, Thomas. We've always called him Thomas, all of his friends call him Thomas. Not intentionally, but it just hasn't gotten to the point where that trigger goes off and we've ever started calling him Tom or Tommy.
His teachers call him William for the first few weeks of school every year and that really pi$$es him off

Congratulations on your beautiful boy!!! Nothing like a cozy little Pats fan!
By the way, names happen to be my profession, so...
Declining traditional nicknames is definitely the trend right now. Little Harrison-not-Harry should have no trouble in a schoolroom full of William-not-Bills and Michael-not-Mikes. (At least until he's 13 and he and his friends decide he'll go by Hawk from now on. )
WOW, that is putting your fandom first! Congrats on a beautiful baby, and may he have the pleasure of naming his son for future Patriots super-bowl winners!
Talk about your dynasty...

PS, I guess you are personally immune from the charge of "bandwagon jumping" forever now!

That's about the only battle I've won. That's why picking your battles is so important! I let her win the little ones

My girlfriend saw the picture on the screen over my shoulder. I'm hoping she'll eventually be able to stop talking in a high pitched squeal, but I'm not counting on it happening anytime soon.
So anyway, I was thinking... seems like every time an athlete is interviewed post-game after winning a championship, he says that, after the day his 1st kid was born, this is the best moment of his life.
So, congratulations -- you've just done something that people who would know recognize as better than winning the Super Bowl.

Amen to that.
