The empire strikes back

Yes, my rather slow moving plan to populate the world with people genetically related to me has taken another giant step forward! You’ve read it on Twitter, seen him on facebook, well here he is on a blog! My new son Orlando Stephen Wakerley. Born on the 12th February at 2.09pm EST.

This is adding to my first child the oft-mentioned Brooklyn Justice Wakerley.

I am truly blessed in more ways than this short and humorous blog post can convey. A trouble free birth and a healthy progeny!

Why the name? Well calling a boy Betty would have just been silly.

Orlando… we like the sound of it, and it’s nice to keep naming our children with places found in various states littered around the USA.

Stephen… my fathers name. A man crazy enough to follow a dream and see miracles happen as a result.

Wakerley… kinda had to use that one (btw if you’re ever in England, you simply must visit my wood… Wakerley Wood).

Gifts may be dropped off at our estate located somewhere within that ancient forest, just follow the hounds and the sound of tea being brewed.

    Can we call him Orly? Cause if he ever becomes an NBA player, I think the nickname Orly could pay some financial rewards.

    i agree Betty is plain weird, kids will tease him and call him ugly, but did you consider Sue?

    Jonathan: Unfortunately due to his genetics it is highly unlikely that he will ever play basketball :)

    But of course we took sports endorsements into consideration and I think Orly will work well in a variety of sports.
