A Rose by Any Other Name Would Still Smell as Sweet

For a while I've been thinking about the names of our children and using them on our blog. Often I just say, "Our Oldest," or "Our Second Son," or "Our Daughter."  I've used their "real" names before, but for some crazy reason am not too comfortable with it.  Well, last night I came up with some screen names that I am planning on using from now on (until I change my mind again).  
Our Oldest Son I will now replace with Spielberg: he truly is a director-at-heart!
Our Second-born son I will replace with Socrates: he doesn't ask a ton of questions like his older brother, but the ones he does ask are quite profound.  And, he listens a lot to what is going on around him, is very observant and, for his age and even older than his age, he make quite profound statements.
Our daughter, I will refer to as Sunshine: she truly is.  
So there you have it, our children's names . . . . to protect the innocent . . . or guilty, whichever applies, will be Spielberg, Socrates and Sunshine.
