Re: Help Rafe name the baby!
Back in the day when people didn't freak out about student privacy, a neighbor lady (and 4th grade teacher) hired me (I "worked" for her from 6th grade til 11th when she retired) to grade papers (also to help cut out laminated stuff and help with her bulletin boards). I kid you not, over those six years, she had a Jacob Jacobson, a Michael Michaleson, a Steven Stevens, and my personal favorite, a Smythe Smith. She also had a student names Max Hammer...which is just cool.
I also had a little girl in my swimming lessons names Lytling. Supposedly it means "beloved", but I don't know what language.
...which is another idea (not necessarily for Rafe, but for anyone)--change the language of a word for a name.
