Nicknames

The Little Elf (La Jolla, CA)

It seems as if we're constantly being asked what we're going to call J, as if he's never going to survive his full name. The full name is too much of a mouthful for some it seems, but we like it. But in case you can't manage the entire Scandinavian verbiage, here are some of the names he has that are officially approved by one or both of his parents:

1. The Viking or El Vikingo (for his hairyness at birth) (h/t to Kahl for the link)
2. The Brave, usually used as a title (J the Brave)
3. George (used when he's being funny)
4. Jimmy (in case you don't like George)
5. The Monkey (because he crawls all over you when you try and burp him)
6. The lineman (for his manly grunts)

Just as long as he isn't your average Joe.
