Would you believe it if I said Lettie is short for Aglet?

Yours with hilarity,

Dearest Owlet,

No! I would not. I don’t think your parents would name you after the plastic end of a shoelace. (And yes, I had to look that up.)

Yours with incomparable wit,

Liam

Dear not so witty Liam,

Owls are adorable. I wish I was named after them. And that would make sense since my dad is a birder.

Yours with confidence you will never, ever guess my name,

Lettie

Dearest Rumplestiltskin,

If I guess right, do I get your first-born child? Or would you rather just name them after me? The female version of my name is Wilma, by the way.

Yours With a Great Sense of Humor,

Liam
