In the realm of baby names, trends shift from traditional to avant-garde. Celebrities often lead the charge, with Gwyneth Paltrow naming her child “Apple” and Beyoncé choosing “Blue Ivy.” Jay and Kateri Schwandt, parents to a brood of fourteen boys, recently welcomed their newest addition, Finley. Seeking a distinctive touch, they bestowed the middle name “Sheyboygan,” inspired by a tale of a Native American chief with many sons, meaning “She’s a boy again.”
“At this point, Kateri and I are both in our 40s, so we know we’re coming to the end of this,” Jay acknowledged. Despite expecting Finley to be their last, the couple celebrated the pregnancy as they did with their first. While initially hoping for a girl, they embrace their expanding all-male family. With 13 protective brothers, Finley can take pride in his exceptional name, symbolizing the Schwandts’ unique journey of parenthood.
