Choosing baby's name
Welcome to the world, Leo. Nice to finally see you.
I don't have much time to write today. I have the week off work to take care of the newborn. That's him. Leonardo Enrique Olmeda.
My wife and I took our time settling on the first name. I insisted on his middle name, in honor of my late stepfather Jose Enrique Girona. My dad and namesake, who lives in the Bronx, is content to pass on the last name (another grandson has his name).
Two things I like about Leo (the name). Just like his dad, Leo is a pizza-loving, crime fighting turtle. And his initials spell out his name. That is so cool. My initials spell out Superman's deity. Not so cool.
