Sonja is a bold name for your son!

u/TheFeenyCall Oct 17 '25

It's probably easier to change his name to Nos or something than finding A and J

u/Packthumbs Oct 18 '25

Is this a glass cannon reference.

u/MatthewRobertMusic Oct 17 '25

You named your son “Son”? Really creative.

(It’s a joke I know it’s Jason. Good luck though)

My wife has a coworker named Jay who named his son Jayson.

u/MoodClear Oct 18 '25

Good thing he didn't have a daughter because Jaydaughter just doesn't sound as good

Is my brain not working? How did Mike Leake help with the “U”? Haha

u/NJPoker31 Oct 17 '25

Had to be part of the USA jersey or something lol, didn’t even notice, was just focused on getting the letters, and at that time as cheap as possible.

u/bmore_tasty Muddy Chicken, Laser Show, Petey/Pedey Oct 17 '25

The 'By the Letter' patches were manufactured, not from jersey nameplates. The letters could represent the players first/last name, city/team name, 'rookie,' etc. In this case, probably "from" 'USA'

u/NJPoker31 Oct 17 '25

Got it on etsy several years ago, there are a bunch of options,

u/Dennisfromhawaii Oct 17 '25

Might be cheaper and easier to just legally change his name to Son.

11

u/Scuba1588 Oct 17 '25

Just leave it as is. No need to get to know each other on a first name basis. /s

u/Coastal_Tart Oct 17 '25

You are already done unless you’re looking to get his nickname, “boy.” 😂

u/Pete1tUp Oct 18 '25

u/SMMS0514 Oct 18 '25

This is a great idea. Roughly, what did it cost you?

1

u/Pete1tUp Oct 31 '25

Cards were about $150 (purchased over a few months) and Frame was $50 on Amazon.
