This summer we took our first family road trip. We spent seven hours driving from River City to Hill City, South Dakota in our little car giving us several hours upon which to 'bond'.
After several hours on the road JB asked from the back seat if she could change her name. Asking why, she said that she wanted to be Min, and BW could be Yon - "Because together we would be your minions."
After a long sporadic conversation spread out over several miles and hours of time it sounded perfectly BW and JB. So, per their request, they are now Min (formerly JB) and Yon (Formerly BW).
They will always and forever be my JB and BW, and I may at times revert to referring to them as that... but for the moment, they are Min and Yon. Continual and driving characters in Crazytown.
* Update: after going by the name Yon for several weeks, BW requested that his name once again return to 'BW' since that felt 'smoother'.
** Update II: Min has requested that she go by JB again - so that BW can't call her Minny, as in Minny Mouse.
