A couple months ago I made a small and seemingly insignificant wager. Insignificant because I was sure I was going to win. The wager involved a fantasy football match up between me and Ryan Rogers. Somehow both of our bets involved our significant others and to make a long story short, if I lost then we had to name our first born Chewbacca. Obviously this was completely ridiculous, but I did feel the need to honor the bet. So when Kelly asked what we should call our little lima bean sized dude or dudette, I seized the opportunity to nickname the child Chewie.
Now I understand that this is a growing child and not a Wookie with incredible strength, limited vocabulary, and advanced technological weaponry, but I think the nickname is kinda cute. Besides, it's ambiguous enough to work for a boy or girl, and Kelly, being the awesome wife that she is, graciously accepted it without any rebuttal. I was as surprised as you are.
So if you hear us refer to Chewie in conversation or writing, now you know why. I hope this doesn't offend the Wookie community- I can handle a few Ewoks but Wookies are no joke :)
