Nomenclature

Jason Charles Leary. The Jason is from me. The Leary is from my ancestors. The Charles comes from my Dad, Michael Charles Leary. His Charles comes from his uncle, known as Chick. The name came from a couple of months of discussion. When we hit upon this, we knew it was right. Lisa gets credit for the Jason and the Charles. I, passively, donated the final name. When we let my Dad know, he was touched and overjoyed. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

He will be Jason out in the world, and he will be J when he is with his grandparents, but inside our home, he'll be Charlie. This happened mostly as a result of an Internet video making the viral circuit just as we named him. Enjoy:

That video was really funny!

Thanks for taking the time to explain the name selection process.
