No, maybe Mom is just a bit too much of a hero worshipper.
Way back when I was in junior high school (ancient times, I know), my junior high school science teacher had the first name of
Robert. His daughter was named
Roberta, and a couple of years later when a son was born he was named
Robert Jr.
My teacher insisted that this was all his wife's idea and he really didn't want both a
Roberta and a
Robert Jr. in the family. :)
