Where did we get the name NASH?

We're not completely sure. But there are a few references which certainly helped.

The N is for Brooke's Grandfather, Norman, who was born in Vienna in 1920. He came over to the US and joined the Army then went back to Europe to fight in WWII. Brooke's grandmother was born in Paris and that's where they met in 1943. They were married February 9, 1947 in Brooklyn, NY.

Nash is also for the great city of Nashville, Tennessee, home to Vanderbilt University, where Ray went to (and loved) college.

Some other mostly irrelevant references to the name Nash:

The Adventures of Pluto Nash is a movie with Eddie Murphy which is supposed to be really terrible. Here's the plot according to Wikipedia, "In the year 2087, Pluto Nash owns one of the best nightclubs on the moon. A gangster wants to buy Pluto's club for Rex Crater, who has plans to take over the entire moon. Pluto hires a singer named Dina to work for him. The gangsters attack forcing Pluto, Dina, and Bruno (Pluto's robot bodyguard) to flee and find out what Rex Crater wants with the help of Pluto's old friend Tony Francis, an Italian singing sensation."

Ogden Nash is an American poet who wrote some funny stuff. There is a link to some of his work with the other links on this page. He's the guy who wrote "Candy is dandy; but liquor is quicker."

Of course there's also Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills & Nash. And there's the Nash Metropolitan, which is that cute little car that Christian picks up Cher in for their date in Clueless.

Mostly I think we just like the way it sounds.
