I have received more information from my mother about my new nephew:

Weight: 9 lbs 1 oz.

Length: 21 inches.

Name: Ezra Benjamin, 'Izzy' for short.

Yay!

yay! Are you going to be the weird uncle, or the cool uncle, or some combination thereof?

I dunno if I can pull of 'cool', so I may have to go with 'weird'. I'll try to avoid 'annoying'.

Congratulations!

But I wonder why people so often give a kid a name with the intention of calling them something else.

It's

so they know when they're in trouble, obviously! Same deal as with giving you a middle name that nobody ever uses--except when they need to let you know you're really in trouble now . . .

Yes, I think 'Ezra Benjamin! You get out of the water right now!' has a certain ring to it.
