Ooooh, heartiest congratulations to all humans involved. Unfortunately though, you have been misled - my name is not Lucas. But Philip sounds like a good choice, a better one than it was in my case, where myself, my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather and (we think) great-great-grandaddy too and were all the First Born Sons and that in a family where Tradition Mattered. Yes, I come from a long line of Pips. Gladys Knight was furious.

Congratulations Simon. I hope young Lucas is fine, an not keeping yo up too much!

Nice work Simon!

Congratulations, Simon and family!

Nice one.

Did you consider calling him Spider at all? Were you overruled on that one?

I was once explaining to a friend, the motivation, no rationalization, behind naming my daughter. In the end she asked me, "so you named your daughter after food?" Its kind of complicated, and involves a lot of South Asian stuff, but her simple summary has always made me laugh. And I wish my parents put half the thought into naming me that I put into my daughter's name. Eric. ERIC. There are a million Erics. And in the end, it was just so the initials could be the same as someone else in the family. And we are not Scandinavian. So anyway...... I hope you take the time to explain that your kid was named after a guy who took the time to keep that connection that is so important to any real punk-rooted band, with their audience (notice I did not use the term "fans" -- because the proper term is "peers").

CONGRATULATIONS SIMON!!

Thank you all. Mr. Chevron so you are not that Lucas that made star wars
nboldock Spider would be a great name but for the boys head i like it bether if he pick up the guitar rather then the beer tray.
Eric V be sure i will tell him many times where he got his Philip name from
