Several weeks ago, we watched August Rush, which stars Keri Russell as “Lyla.” I really liked the name and since my sister was expecting a baby boy, I decided to send her the name “Lyle” in a text message. I typed it into my phone and saved it to my drafts with the intention of sending it after the movie had ended, but I wound up forgetting about it, and never sent it or mentioned it to anyone except my partner.
My sister delivered a healthy baby boy today. Guess what his name is?

It would be weird to ask you to wish your sister well or send her my congratulations since I don’t know her, but I am always excited about the birth of a baby! So congratulations, Brian, on the birth of your nephew! Do you live close enough that you’ll be able to meet him soon?
WOW!
I didn’t know, or maybe I had forgotten, that your sister was even pregnant.
@ fightingwindmills: Yes, I live pretty close. Thanks for the congrats!
@ Alyson: It is quite possible that I forgot to mention it. Which reminds me… I need to go take my Ginkgo biloba.
It is also quite possible that you told me and I forgot. LOL.
CONGRATS Uncle!!! Aunt/uncleness is the best thing ever conceived, no pun in tended. You are going to have so much fun! And what a cute name…love it. Congrats!
Is it Sue? http://www.last.fm/music/Johnny+Cash/_/A+Boy+Named+Sue
You didn’t ever say for sure but I’m going to use the context clues (like Dan always tells me to) and guess that it’s Lyle. Which is really crazy. Do you believe in psychic mental connections? Are you and your sister close?
Congratulations to you and your family!! Babies are such a blessing.
@ Alyson: Just think how much fun we would have if they put us in the same room at a nursing home. We could tell the same stories over and over and they would be new every time!
@ Caroline: Thanks for giving me a new word to use - “uncleness.” Hilarious!
@ Chris: You’re a trip! I don’t know if I believe in psychic ability or not, but I guess it’s possible. Coincidence seems more probable, though.
