For some time now I have been thinking that the boys deserved better names than my oldest, my second oldest, and so on. I didn't want to use their names because you never know who might read these things and they do deserve their privacy. So after much thought I have decided to name them after characters in the Three Musketeers because there are four and because in a very loose way it sort of fits. My eldest will be Athos, who was the father figure of the novel. My second eldest will be Porthos who was the fun loving one. My second youngest will be named after Aramis who loved to chase after intrigue and adventure. Finally my youngest will be named after d'Artagnan who was also the youngest and most naive.
I think this will help make them more personal and yet still respect their privacy. Now there's only one more question; what to name my husband?

That is really cool, I love it.
I think these names are neat!
Perhaps I shall call my kids Frodo, Merry and Pippin. They have hairy toes you know.
