So the background behind Julian’s name is that initially Elizabeth and Megan liked the named Ian.  I actually liked the name Ian too. One always relates names to others they have known about throughout their lives – there was this guy at summer camp who was the “cool” guy.  You know, the guy guy – a very hetero thing mind you.  Anyhow, he was the guy who was taller than everyone, reached puberty before everyone, wore cool t-shirts, played sports well, was nice to everyone, and was your all around cool dude.  That was Ian.

Actually, before I try and take all the credit, because I’m such an extraordinaire computer consultant, I’ll have you know that Elizabeth actually figured it out. But I am still an extraordinaire computer consultant – I am.
