Yay! Congrats to Ralph!

Rachael, I loved your process of selecting a name.

Now, how shall we include 'Ralph' as a character in the book? :) In the UK they say his name as "Rafe," and that's a bit more appropriate to my fantasy character naming standards, so we might play around with it. :D Tell your students how much I loved their names! When I went back through and looked at the ones I kept until the final round, I noticed that many--if not most--of them had a least one name included!

Not sure It's legal for family to enter ... I just thought it might be a little fun thing to do.

It's open to everybody. It's just for fun, and there is no prize of any value being given, so you're okay. :) And I didn't pick it because you entered it! I didn't even know which name belonged to who by that point and just picked ones I liked a lot that went into the cup. :D I am happy it's your name I pulled, Dad, because you're my dad and I'm so blessed by you! Love you!
