I remember when this happened! I was watching the horrible disaster happen on tv! I was crying! I couldn't believe it was really happening!
When I was pregnant with my daughter I was telling my husband and father-in-law that I wanted to name her Christa. My father-in-law convinced my husband that the name was not real that I was being silly, that I made it up. Lol!
Do you remember the Challenger Disaster!

@toniganzon Here a lot of babies are named after actors or character's in shows. It wasn't planned this way , but I named my oldest son after one of my favorite character's, my youngest son after an actor just because I liked the name and my daughter after another character. They also get named after other people in the family. I have never heard your brother's name before.

@dfollin People here like naming their kids by combining the name of the parents even if sounds odd. They're also fond of naming kids after a famous character in a show or a movie even if it's a dog. My brother is names Pepros, a name like no other because I have not heard anybody names the same as my brother in this country or in other countries. His name is a combination of the two famous actors in the 70s. Pepito and Rosemarie, hence PEPROS. But it wasn't my parents who named him but my gay Uncle, father's older brother.

Your FIL doesn't sound like he is too up on the news or what is happening in the world.
