Naming a child is quite a responsibility and while we have zoomed in on two lead first names, everything else is still very open. Beyond the first name, we are also considering a second and a third name. And I had this idea to give a very special third name to our son:
Chewbacca.
Isn’t this the coolest (third) name a boy could ever have? Chewbacca. Chewy. How awesome is this?
Everybody knows that the Star Wars franchise might have crashed and burned with the second trilogy and might even completely implode with the upcoming third trilogy. But everybody knows as well that the original trilogy is made for eternity. And one of the great and most lovable heroes there is, of course, Chewbacca.
Only super cool parents would name their son like that and the only reason why I do not scold my parents for not naming me like this is that A New Hope debuted in 1977 and they could not have waited for that long to give me a name, I guess. Water down the bridge, what can you do. Anyway, so I am all thrilled and worked up about this idea, but Lamia is sort of indifferent about that name. Why do you want to call our son after a monkey?! she’d say, and I am like, dude: Chewbacca is a Wookie! And what are you anway – a racist?!
For unexplainable reasons I lost that argument.
Pregnant women are so stubborn. Even more than if they’re not pregnant…
And I thought this was impossible for a French.
