My son's unique name
July 25, 2008 | Portland, Oregon | Vetting explained
My own name is pretty normal, but my son's name is a unique one for sure. His name is Corum (pronounced Core-um).
The source of the name is my husband. He is a huge fan of the Elric series by moorcock. I forbade him from naming our son Elric (which I was against because Elric is an anti hero who kills everyone he gets near and destroys the universe) so he suggested Corum. I agreed, not realizing that in the series, Corum is another incarnation of Elric.
Ah well. For sanity's sake, we gave him the middle name Erik (Danish spelling, as the husband is danish)
