His full name will be Cary James Chapman.
James is my father's name, but Joel didn't know that when he picked it.
Doesn't stop my Dad feeling doubly honoured though! And I"ve always liked
"James". I tend to like classic names, my very favourite being Thomas, but
Joel nixed that.
Cary came about because we wanted a name that wasn't all that common but on
the same token wasn't so unusual that people just went "huh?" at it. And
Joel also wanted to name the kid after his late mother, Kerry. Mind you,
there is no *way* I would have named a son of mine "Kerry" because its just
too close to Kerry Packer, a man I certainly don't admire. So we rolled the
sounds of "Kerry" around on our tongues for a while and got "Cary", which is
an older name, and unusual for today, but not so weird that people will
forever think we were nuts inflicting onto our kid. It is also a Celtic
name, which is an added bonus, and I am a Cary Grant fan. So Cary it was (we
flirted with the variant spelling of "Carey", and I like the look of it
better, but Joel pointed out that it looks more like a last name, and that
then it isn't "Cary, as in Cary Grant" as a way of explanation, so the plain
way of spelling it is the way to go).
And if he doesn't like it, he can always call himself James of Jim, a very
safe name.

You could be a *distant* relation of Vernon. Family name from his Mum's side of
the family is Chapman.
Whcih means I *might* just be a real aunt - several thousand times removed, of
course ;-)

Helen, dear,
Congratulations! You were so shy and secretive about being a great aunt
earlier. I hope you will be more forthcoming with your current possible
multiple great aunt status. (grin)
Annie, who is about to become a great aunt for the second time in May.

James is a very nice, dignified name that never goes out of style. It was my
grandfather's name. We were going to name our first one James, but it was a
girl, so we have a Jamie.
