    Did you recognize the name or do you just google infants for fun? ;D

    I see my pleas to have you entered into the compulsory sterilization program are still going unheaded.

    The soul of a pacifist, eh? The kid is going to be all pervy like the dad, I guess. Don't forget to post a photo of the first poop.

    Congrats to you, your wife and Charley, you mushy bastard.

    Thanks everybody, very much.

    I swear, I hadn't heard of Haymarket until tonight.

    We just liked the name Sam. And Fielden is my mother's maiden name.

    And so by absolute fluke, we named our kid after an anarchist bomber. And, apparently, several thousand other people.

    At least he'll have a good myth to spin about his handle.

    Congrats, Jones. Great news.

    I suspect these boys are going to be entertaining as hell as they grow up.

    I recognized "Fielden" but couldn't remember where until Google reminded me.

    I have this image of Jones walking in to tell the Mrs. about naming their newborn after an anarchist. It makes me chuckle.

    You could always say you named him after the butcher who boned Alice on The Brady Bunch. ;)

    Congrats, Jonesy.

    Have you registered the little bomber in one of your country's finest pre-schools yet?

    Best wishes.
