I know some people have asked where did you get the name Declan Brady Hogan. Long story but here goes: When we found out we were having a boy everyone was asking "Do you have a name"? So we started looking into names and throwing names out there to see how they sounded. Bill Hempen said he liked the name "D'brickashaw". I knew Nana Hogan would be thrilled with this name so as a joke we kept calling the little guy "D'brickashaw" and then shortened it to DB. Then for about 5 months we really only called him DB (even had a Christmas stocking with Lil DB on it).
I wanted to have an Irish name so we came up with Declan which is named after St. Declan and means "Full of Goodness". Brady has multiple meanings (1) I am a huge ND fan so Brady Quinn (2) the boy was conceived in Boston so (Tom Brady) (3) and lastly Brady means "Spirited".
Jim Hunt's grandfather was called DB for David Bradley so we went with Declan Brady to stay with the DB theme. I hope this answers all of your questions!!
