Baby Names

I just realized that I have never addressed the baby name issue to my little preschooler. All along the pregnancy, Luke was quite comfortable telling others that his baby sister's name is "Fuzz" (which is the name of his favorite cuddle bud since infancy), and then recently he opted for the more sophisticated nomer "Angelique." (I have no idea where he got that.) Yesterday, however, Luke initiated a serious baby names conversation with me, which illuminated my forgetful state of mind that I have never discussed the issue of names with him.

L: Mom, what is baby sister's name?
Me: Huh?
L: You know, Ben's baby sister is Annabel, Rafael's baby sister is Florabel (yes, that's her real name), and Flynn's baby sister is Leah. What is MY baby sister's name?
Me: oh, I thought you already got a name for her. Isn't it Fuzz?
L: No, that's not her name. (said with a most serious frown)
Me: Well, we will get her name when she's born. That's how we did it with you. We got to know that you are Luke when we saw you coming out of mommy's tummy.

And that response seemed to satisfy his distress over not having a proper name for his sister.
