Coworker: Have you picked a name for your baby?
Me: I think we are going to name him Lucas.
Coworker: Oh that's a great name. I thought you'd pick something like Speilberg Iverson
Me: Why Speilberg?
Coworker: For Star Wars
Me: He didn't do Star Wars.
Coworker: He didn't, who did?
Me: George Lucas
Coworker: (silence). I'm a dumbass, I knew that.
** really his name is Lucas not after George Lucas (but that is a really good side effect) because we want to call him Luke, yes, after our favorite Jedi but also after the doctor who wrote the gospel of Luke, and Lucas fits better with his middle name of Hawk, which, yes, is after our beloved Hawkeyes. We are still debating spelling Hawk with an 'e'.
So you heard it here first, if you haven't heard already, we are naming our baby Lucas Hawk Iverson. Now that is a cool name; Luke Iverson. Try saying it loud like you are announcing it over a PA system at a major sporting event (the test for any real name)**

Funny story.
We're still debating names and since we won't know the sex of this baby until birth we now have to come up with names for both a boy and a girl. It's harder than you'd think. We are getting close, though.
okay, so the geek in me is totally LOL about that conversation.
and that name is freaking awesome! i've always liked "lucas" and it goes GREAT with "hawk". my vote (though, in this "election" it doesn't make a difference) is to keep it as "hawk" unless you've got a good meaning behind the e-version.
i seriously love it!
(and i'm a cyclone!)
