I am often asked if I will name my son, should I have one, Thomas Alan Else IV.
The answer is no.
It has to stop somewhere. If I name him the 4th then he'll feel obligated to name his son the 5th, and so on... It'll become a vicious cycle that result in there someday being Else The 14th.
I know there are some out there that are disappointed at this decision. I think my Father would like to see the name continue on, but I feel the need to be more creative with my child's name rather than just churn out another Tommy Else. Not to mention, I don't want to spend 18 years of my life screaming my own name across the house. It's weird for me as it is when I meet another guy named Tom. I don't meet too many other Toms... I just met one 2 weeks ago. Great guy... but it's weird calling anyone by my own name.
Anyway...
Boy names currently in contention are:
- Thor
- Jupiter
- Vinnie
- Corgan
Girl names currently in contention are:
- Starla
- Czarina
- Lita
- Cammy
But I will be the last in the line of Thomas Alan Elses. I feel it my duty to the future generations of Elses to put my foot down, and allow us to evolve into greater Elses.
A new breed unleashed... ELSE: "The Next Generation".
Thor and Jupiter would be fantastic if your son also went into bodybuilding
