Selleck

Selleck is my oldest son. He turns 3 in February. Selleck is a very cool kid with, what I believe to be a very cool name.

When Sarah was first pregnant, She decided we should give all of our children first names that started with S. That way we would all have the initials SB. (Thus the name of my blog. SB to the 5th represents my wife, our two boys, the third child that we are seriously thinking about trying for and me. SB to the 5th power). With this in mind, Sarah's dad was online and ran across Tom Selleck. He suggested the name Selleck and we loved it. So, we decided to name our first son Selleck.

I have looked at several census and other reports and, from what I can tell, our Selleck is the only person in America with the first name of Selleck. Pretty cool!

I have a belief, though, that someday the name Selleck will be as common a first name as Emma or Logan or Dillon are today. Whenever someone asks his name, they always respond with "cool name". So, each time someone sees our cool son and hears his cool name, a seed is planted. When that person has children or someone they know is having children, their mind will reflect back to the cool name they heard, Selleck. So, when you take your child or grandchild to school and their class consists of 6 Selleck's, 3 Emma's, 2 Logan's, and 2 Dillon's, you can thank our Selleck for his part in that.
