Galen
- ("Gay-len" not "Gallon")- name of my special boy, which makes me wish I didn't think it was tacky to name all your kids after their parents. The name of an ancient Greek physician, this is an uncommon and arty sort of name, but it is also a sturdy name. Well-balanced, you know; gets the bearer off to a good start. Also it seems to be such a pleasing name that no one has ever thought to nickname the Galen I know Gaylord (while I acquired the much less obvious nickname Scary Monkey going through life as Sarah Mundy).
- Galen Joseph
