Definitely helps. As did the first link (Michael's link threw a 404). Is this because it is assumed your "work" is done, and it is now your son's job to carry on?
Our family has a similar feeling of generational shift, but the handoff is more in the late teens than at birth. To date I have failed (38 years old and no son to carry the Johnson name).

Abu whatever is an honor term, you (as a man) generally take the name of your first born son. Your wife, should you have one, becomes "Um". Soooo, my name is Marwan. My first born son is Khaled. As of June 16, I am Abu Khaled, in Arabic circles. My wife Kara is now Um Khaled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:136985 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
