What's In a Name?

E and I were having our usual pre-bedtime conversation and this came up.

E: Mama, why is my name E?

I blathered on about how daddy E and I gave a lot of thought on what name to give him before he was born and we thought that E was a very nice name and that's why we chose it etc and so on.

E: Well, you should have named me 'David'. I like that name.

Me: If you like, you could apply to change your name when you grow up.

E: Okay. I'm sleepy now, good night mama!
