Naming Conventions

The name Lucie reminded Megan of her multiple experiences abroad in France. Her friend Sophie, a French friend met during a high school exchange program, named her little girl Lucie a few years back and the idea stuck. Ryan is a name we both like, but most importantly, neither of us have ever known a 'bad' Ryan.

The middle names are a longer story. I've been telling close friends about naming a boy "Dodger" for about 15 years. My obvious team allegiance aside, I didn't think about using it as a name until the TV show China Beach featured a character named "Dodger" in the late '80s. We continued the baseball theme with "Brooklyn" for Lucie's middle name.

Besides, does the world really need another Kaitlyn or Michael?
