What's in a Name?

So you may be wondering, where did the name William Bodey Dray come from? Good question...even better answer.

Bodey is named after many people - as it turns out. William is a family name on the Preston side. Blaine's first name is William, his dad's name was William "Ron", Blaine's grandpa was Marvin William ("Tom") - and then on the other side of Blaine's family, his granddad was John William ("Bill"). We always knew our little boy would be William.

But we didn't want to call him William. So we came up with Bodey - just a cool name to us and is very fitting for some reason. Nana says it sounds like a football player - I certainly would agree.

The first and middle names were covered but we also wanted Bodey to have a Moore family name. With a little creativity, we combined Bodey's Papa's first and middle name to come up with Dray - after Danny Ray.

So there you have it - a little guy with a big name. We know it won't be long before he fills the shoes of a big name. He was born 7 pounds 4 ounces and 2 days ago was already over 8 pounds. Do we have a linebacker in our future?
