Hehe, thanks dude.
We actually decided on his name during Super Bowl XLII where my wife (a non-sports fan watching begrudgingly) joked that if the Giants pulled off the improbable upset over the undefeated-all-season-long Patroits (NFL fans will know just how unlikely that was going to be) that we would name our first child Manning, after Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
As it turned out, the Giants pulled off the miracle upset and the name just stuck with us ever since.
So in answer to your question peach, it was technically after Eli :drunk
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. I am off to take our baby his membership package which I've had waiting for him for months, including his member's jersey (which has his name on it for those curious enough to look - haha!) and his season ticket with daddy in the ET Upper. Again, let's hope he does choose to support the Sharkies (I'm 99.9% confident he will) and nobody else. If we do win this weekend against Souths,he will officially become my lucky charm as well. Up Up Cronulla!
Fancyman, we need to sit down and discuss your tactics. At the moment I'm changing nappies at a 100% rate, meaning I've done every one since birth. Haha, please teach me your escapism tactics.

i just made an agreement, before the first one was born, i said lawns or nappies, which one you wona do "luv"
so i brought a rideon.
i made my little bloke a member when he was 5 days old, so he was the youngest member at that stage.
i cant belive you dive from Kellyville,for games, is your wife from that way?
Kellyville? We drive from Taree!
congratulations el!
a good idea which i did.
create an email address for him and send emails on special occasions so when he is older, he can go through and read them.
Just make sure you check it for spam before showing him.
"Hey son, we set up this email account and emailed you every now and then for when you were holder"
"Sweet, hey wtf, do I want longer lasting sex "
Did you guys buy a membership for your unborn? If so that is just awesome haha.
