My mom was a little concerned when Lego was born and she saw what we were calling him, and I had to reassure her that it was just his handle, not a real nickname. It just seemed fitting because his initials are LGO. Similarly, Duplo's initials are DPO, so I figured we'd continue that scheme. But you do raise a good point, and we've already talked about it. Of course, the problem with Bionicle and Technic and other Lego lines of products is that they don't end in <i>o</i>, so they wouldn't work for initials-based handles that are based on toy lines. <a href="http://brio.knex.com/" rel="nofollow">Brio</a> might be an option, but I don't think we've discussed any names for either boys or girls that start with <i>b</i>. So I think we'll have to resort to something else for any subsequent kids. Just to be clear, we only call them that online.

I love that you call them Lego and Duplo. Admittedly, I was worried when I first encountered the name Lego--I thought it was short for Legolas. Don't get me wrong; I like Tolkien just fine, but there are lines that should not be crossed. My only concern with calling them Lego and Duplo is that, if you have a third boy, you'll be stuck calling him Bionicle. Very nice. I love that you call them Lego and Duplo.
