More on the name "Nicholas"

I thought that this was way too important to keep buried in the comments section so I will give it its own post. Nicholas' granddad adding some more history on the name we chose. Check it out.......

When I learned that the baby’s first name would be Nicholas, I thought this to be really emblematic, as this was also the maiden name of Mother. I have been asked to include this name on just about every credit application I have made in this county. This means that from time to time when making an enquiry about my account, I have been asked to state my mother’s maiden name before any information is given to me. Very recently at work, I was setting up an online account, which would enable me to make withholding tax payments for the company to the State of Pennsylvania, and had to include the name Nicholas on the account.

Constantly I am using the name Nicholas. Obviously, when this baby arrives, I will be using the name even more. Naturally I am trilled that he is going to be named Nicholas. It is reasonable to say that the baby is not being named only after his mother, but also after his great grandmother.
