Name Blame Game, Part 4

(I am currently pregnant with my second child. We have just found out it is a boy, and are discussing what his name will be with my six-year-old son.)

Me: “So, kiddo, we’ve picked a name for your little brother! We’re going to name him Riley!”

Son: “But Riley is a girl’s name! There is a girl in my class named Riley!”

Me: “Well, Riley can be a girl’s name, but it can also be a boy’s name.”

Son: “Well YOU can call him Riley, but I’m going to call him Trevor.”

(At this point my husband decides to throw his two cents in.)

Husband: “You can call him Trevor, but I’m going to start calling you Calvin!”

Son: “That’s fine, as long as you don’t call me a girl’s name!”
