Cru Buzzard?
My wife and I are strongly considering naming our son “Crusoe” (we’d have him go by “Cru”). Cru Buzzard, what a name!
I’d love to name my son after the fictional character, Robinson Crusoe–a man who embarked upon great adventures, came to love Jesus through experiencing physical and spiritual shipwreck, evangelized cannibals as well as put them in a head lock when he needed to, and who told all about it in a great story. What are your thoughts? Do you like the name? If you like the name I’ll be encouraged. If you don’t like the name I’ll probably just decide that I don’t like your name.
This is also a great time for me to recommend that you read Robinson Crusoe. The true adventure of this adventure tale is how, over time, Crusoe comes to see his sin and his need for a Savior through reflection on his circumstances and the reading of his Bible. This is my favorite story. Get it and read it. Make sure you buy the full, unabridged version of the book (this will be 400-500 pages).
What a great picture on this post! I downloaded your sermon yesterday to my iPod and really enjoyed it and was encouraged. It’s such a comfort to know that the Lord has gone before us and will be with us in every detail of all we go through. Knowing that what seems random to us isn’t to him is super comforting. I have not read the full version of Robinson CRUsoe and have only a Disney-like knowledge of it, but now I want to read the real deal. What a meaningful and cool name you guys are considering for your son!
Hey, I like Crusoe. It’s going to give you and him plenty of chances to explain why he was named after that famous character!

Hey Justin, I love the name Crusoe, it sounds really cool!!!! I also happen to love that book!
what about when he’s 80 years old? will it still work then? why don’t you just give him a nick name of cru and a regular name for his buisness cards and wedding invitations???
love you –just a thought from a mom of 16 years!
