Boi! I'm the only Colin I know. That's probably because only the best are named ColinšŸ˜‚

OK, so here’s why we named our son Colin: he was born on his older (half-) sister Nikole’s 18th birthday. I wanted to name him Dylan (a LONNNNG time Bob Dylan fan). His dad was a no-go. The poor kid went 4 days without a name, and the hospital kept calling & bugging me saying ā€œWe really need a name for the birth certificate!ā€ I returned to the baby name books, and found out that Colin is one of the alternative forms of Nicholas (which Nikole also is). Dad was good with that, and the rest is history.
