Made names are the best...
My dad would visit my nephew and pull up in his truck and nephew would run to the door all excited, pointing and banging on the stormdoor "Truck!". One day they were just roaming around the house and my nephew pointed at my dad and said "Truck!".
Henceforth, my dad was Truck. Everyone in the family called him Truck.
We named my first son after my dad. He grew up calling him Truck. One Sunday lunch over at my parents, we were sitting in the living room and (dad, son, me, other family members) and I said "Hey, Dean..." to get my dad's attention and my son (probably about 3 at this point) looked at me quizzically, looked at dad quizzically, and stated "That not Dean, I Dean! That Truck!"
We couldn't stop laughing for quite a while. The wisdom of kids.

Have you chosen a name yet? Or will you let the name be made for you?

Sometimes what you choose and what the child chooses are different
