    Congratulations!!! Lazurus Maximus indeed. Tell us the truth, you named him Albert Ben Kenobi.

        Please tell me you are joking about Lazarus Maximus.

            No, the kid is not actually named after someone I only know online and an old Russell Crowe character. He got his names from the Biblical Lazarus (the revived one, not the beggar from the parable) and St. Maximus the Confessor. Sheesh.

            His due date was actually tomorrow--he was almost precisely on time. And thanks for all the well-wishes, congratulations, and lewd jokes.

                This guy really named his child Lazarus Maximus

                I can't congratulate him until I know he's joking about ****ing with this kid's life.

                The name freaking rhymes

                  Did the baby get immediately Peruvian nationality? In Spanish it is Lázaro Máximo

                    Give it a rest, Alby. It's better than using a last name as a first name. For instance, Drake.

                    Once again, congratulations, Elok! You are probably obligated by the laws of internet forums to post pictures asap.

                      We'll try to get dual citizenship for him, Barnabas. It's not "automatic," as I understand it, but getting Peruvian citizenship is just a matter of paperwork.

                      Al, kiss my ass.

                        I don't understand why he would object to a name that rhymes with a middle name.

                        Lazarus is a perfectly good name.

                          If I understand correctly being hispanic is convenient in the USA because it allows you to get all those positive discrimination privileges Heraclitus hates, it doesn't matter if you and your wife are of wasp stock, he can still claim to be hispanic as long as he is Peruvian and speaks Spanish.

                            The greatest thing about that choice is that you can predict what his school nickname will be.

                              I can confirm this is true. I have a friend whose father was born in Peru to American parents and she's "peruvian" enough to get a full ride to University of Arizona.

                                I agree with you on affirmative action being a ridiculous idea, but then, why not take advantage if you can?

                                Hispanic is not a race, hispanic is just being a Spanish speaker from Spain or a former colony of Spain. Néstor Kirchner, the ex president of Argentina (who died in 2010) was half Swiss half Croat, and no one would have considered him not hispanic. Peru had an ethnic Japanese president the whole 90s, Alberto Fujimori. In the USA you can see that many dominicans and porto ricans are heavily black, while many of the Mexicans are close to being native americans. Hispanic is not a race, so he can claim to be one.
