The names have been changed to protect the innocent
For some time I have contemplated becoming more anonymous on this blog. I even petitioned the blogosphere a ways back for some advice on what to call my two little rugrats. I did a search on famous pairs in history (unfortunately most famous male/female duos were tragic lovers or criminals) to no avail. So, I let it sit. But once again, I have been thinking it might be time to be a little less “out there” and I finally feel it’s time to take J*T* and B*r*i underground.
While I have already taken measures to protect us from someone tracking us down (no last names on the blog, exact city where we live is omitted, etc.), it is still possible for anyone who knows us to type in key information in google and up pops our blog. This is problematic in that there are probably people out there that know who we are that we would rather not read our day-to-day activities.
So, from here on out, the twins will be referred to as Swee’Pea and TheMonk. Swee’Pea is a nickname that has evolved within our family and TheMonk is a variation of my first nickname for He Who Must Not Again Be Named – Chunky Monk.
Eventually I’ll give myself and the wife a nickname too. But we’re gonna test drive the twins’ names first. Those of you who already know the real names, I’m trusting you to keep the secret! If you leave comments (and I hope you do!), please refer to them with their new names.
Thanks. Carry on.

I am with you on this one. Swee’Pea and TheMonk it is. If I forget, please feel free to delete my comment. My question is this, will you still put picture up or not?

poke, poke: the right toolbar has to be updated to indicate their new (adorable) names.

I have struggled with this concept as well. Why did you decided to go with the nickname/anonymity in the end?

Oh, wait. You know where I live, too.
Nevermind.

See what you know when you’re a long-time reader and commentor?? Secret information!!
It’s going to make my head hurt for a while, but I’ll get used to the new nicknames. Really. But your poems are going to have to be even more creative now to rhyme the new names.

I take that back. You’re good.

Don’t forget to change the Flickr captions with their names too. Or take the Flickr link off the blog.
Not trying to be a backseat driver. Just want to help with your new quest.

I don’t think it’s a big deal that people know your name, personally, although I certainly feel more comfortable being a little anonymous. For my money, it’s just more FUN to have nicknames, and I love yours!
And don’t worry…I already have your credit card information and blueprints to your home. Why invite competition by sharing it. *evil cackle*
