You have a Name

It took a just a couple of days to finally lock in a name for you.  Your mother and I both felt it was a bit harder to decided this time. Not sure why.

Once we got to see you we realised that you were a big strong boy and needed a name that would reflect that.  I went through all of the All Black front row names to see if any of them were a good fit.  We though about calling you John and Thomas but neither of them really fit well.

Finally we decided on Jack.  You are going to be named Jack and be our little pirate.
