Who is Bro Bro?
He's known to some as Brodums, Brodes, or Bro Bro...It all depends on who he's hanging out with. Lucas calls his brother Bro Bro. To me, he'll always be Brodie. But I have to admit, the nicknames the kids created for him are cute.
When my husband and I picked names for our twin boys, we made a point to choose names that did not rhyme, that would not be easily shortened into nicknames, that didn't begin with the same letter of the alphabet, and names that did not begin with a 'J' or 'S', since these are the first letters of our names. Leave it to the kids to figure out ways to shorten Brodie's name. Yes, I know Lucas could easily be shortened to Luke. For this reason, we spelled Lucas with a 'c'. I just explained how we chose their first names. I'll spare you of how we chose their middle and last names. Yes, the last name was an issue of much discussion. So what is in a name? A lot! As parents we put so much time, energy, and effort into naming our children in hope that they like it. 2 comments from 2 users

I named Luke because it was going to be Lucas and no matter how we spelled it I felt people would still call him Luke. Nathan and Alexander were named by there dad and Nathan does get called Nate and Alexander choose to go by Alex. Our next baby is going to be named Abigail and we threw the whole idea of names that cannot be shortened out the window because we are already looking forward to calling her Abby! LOL! It is funny how it all works out. As for what Luke calls Nathan and Alex it is "Naa Naa" and "Alla" Nathan and Alex call each other brother and have always called each other that I hardly ever hear them use each others names.

Sarah, Funny that you commented. While I was writing this blog, I was thinking of your Luke. I love the name you chose for your baby girl on the way. Abigail will be one lucky girl, to have 3 big brothers to watch over her. Take care! Feel free to call or e-mail me if I can help you out with anything. :)
