What's in a name?

When we were pregnant with our first, the doctor told us during one of the ultrasounds that she had a lot of hair. We began to contemplate what color it would be and decided that it would most likely be red. We also determined (correctly) that she would probably sound somewhat like a howler monkey. Hence the name -- The Red Headed Howler.

Our second is more of a squeaker, though he is only a month old. I imagine that his lungs will develop to full howler potential very soon. Neither the Howler nor the Squeaker ended up with red hair, but the name still sticks.
