There's a tradition in my extended family to name a first-born boy after ggg grandfather Nimrod William Ezekiel Long.

My husband declared, "NO son of mine is going to be named Nimrod!" "Not even as a middle name?" I inquired meekly. Rumblings from the male parental unit . . .

Fortunately our first-born is a girl. But I have FOUR (count 'em, FOUR!) cousins named Nimrod . . .
