And I name my kid after the captain! I hated math my whole life until I took a calculus elective in college bc I needed something to round out my semester hours. 💕 calculus the only math you can use in real life on regular basis.

Haddock?

Sadly no, they went with Barnacle

No we named him after Patrick Stewart who played JL Picard. We chose the actor bc of humanitarian activities and contributions to human race. My kiddo has a very long name as he was named after several good eggs. :) so he’s got a lot of nickname options for when he grows up.

Indeed. Patrick sure has brought a lot of value to us both on and off screen.

Billions of blue blistering barnacles is a catch phrase for captain haddock, so I couldn't resist when the other redditor suggested you'd chosen captain haddock, over captain Picard

Nice. I am not without humor sorry my reply was so dry!
