Dear future offspring,

If this applies to you, I’m sorry; way in advance. Your dad is a geek. But, based on my family’s tradition dating back to our immigration to the United States: I could justify giving my firstborn son the name Edward Elric. That’s just amazing!

Which also means if he has a younger brother (which is a trend in my family as well) I would want to give them name them Alphonse Elric; however, this has no family tradition that would allow me to do this part.

Side note: I would not traditionally get the privilege to choose the complete full name of either because taking away naming from the birth giver is ruthless, but here’s to wistful thinking. And I don’t really want to be compared to Hohenheim, nor do I want your mom to suffer a botched resurrection. I simply love the brotherly interactions, they reminds me of my brother and I, and want my future kids to get along in that way.

Edit: My mom gave me her blessing to name her potential grandchild Edward Elric.
