i wanted to name our baby something really cute like Harley or Big Daddy but my fiance wouldnt have it.
so on the way home after we picked him up that first night, i said, "aww, babe look! he's asleep and look at how far his tounge is hanging out..just like Odie off of Garfield, i bet it curls up inside his brain lol" and about that time he woke up and just looked at me...
we waited a minute and when he looked away i called out the name "Odie" and he turned and just looked at me soo lovingly....so it stuck! =]
as for the rest of his name, well i just wanted something that sounded awesome! so thats how i came up with "Odius Maximus"
and finally i love the song, "Rock Me Amadeus" and since "deus" rhymes with "mus" it all stuck with him!
Odius Maximus Amadeus
