What happened to Cash?

We have received some questions of confusion, and rightfully so. There is an inconsistency with our text and our last post. I told Christy that she had to explain but she wasn't in the mood so I told her I would take care of it even though I have have never blogged before. So here goes.....

When we texted out the announcement to everyone you were told that our new son was going to be Weston Cash Denney. Christy and I had talked about how since you never really use your middle name we should have a little fun with it (the only time you need a middle name is to fill out a government document). Christy told me she liked the name Cash (or Cache, it never made it far it enough to decide spelling) and so we went with it. Out went the texts to most and the phone calls to our parents. The response from my mom was speechless (anyone who knows my mom knows that is hard to do). When she gathered her thoughts she gave me an awkward chuckle followed by "are you messing with me?" I chuckled back because I was serious and she responded a relieved "Oh so you ARE joking". This caused me to laugh harder and then I explained that it was his real name. Then she said that she couldn't understand me and that I was breaking up at which point we were "disconnected".

One down one to go.

Christy's mom was with us at the hospital when she heard what we were going to name him. Anyone who knows her mom knows that she is a saint and will probably be translated. She has never said anything to anyone that wasn't pure butter on your buns. As I drove her and the kids home that night I was approached with the question "Should I tell you what I think? Or should I keep my mouth shut?" I invited her to express her feelings as I laughed to myself thinking "I didn't know we had chosen such a controversial name". What I found out ( in the nicest way possible ) was that the name Cash was "worldly". After I had a chance to put the kids in bed I called up Christy at the hospital and I told her we might need to rethink the middle name.

Who knows what everyone else is thinking. The only positive response I got was from Kris.

The next morning when the birth certificate lady came in to collect the possibly offensive information she was given "Weston James Denney". You can't go wrong with "James". It is both family (Christy's Grandpa) and Biblical.

After we found out how our mothers had really felt we couldn't give Wes the middle name Cash. With that kind of reaction we are going to save it for the first name of our next child.
We Like "Cache Steele Denney."
or
"Cash Money Denney." - for Christy's mom
