A Rose by any other Name

Upon his arrival in our home, Garrett was force to learn his new name (as were we), as well as learn the various secondary names that may be used at any given time. Early nominated contenders (grouped by theme) included:
  • Alabama - Forrest 
  • BBQ Cook – Leroy
  • CCM Artist – Beebo
  • China - Hao Ge
  • Eliza - Errand Boy
  • Emily & Louise - Short Round
  • England – Dudley
  • France – Pierre
  • Grimm's – Tweedle
  • Hollywood – McFly
  • Italy – Vinny
  • Legal – Garrett
  • Mexico - Pedro
The selection of a nickname is an organic process. As it turns out, aside from his legal name, Garrett has come to be known as G-man to his mom and Guido to his dad. Eliza still considers him her Errand Boy.
