While Tim and I were trying to pick out a name to give to Jaxon before he was born the first name we settled on was Gibson.
Our reason was pretty stupid. Nothing sentimental about it. It wasn’t any one’s name, we didn’t know anyone by that name. We chose that name because we love the show NCIS. The lead character, or one of, is named Leroy Jethro Gibbs. They call him Gibbs.
For reasons that I wont go in to here, we changed our minds about the name. We had to find another one and that ended up, obviously, being Jaxon.
I hadn’t thought anything of it until tonight, while I watched my first episode of NCIS since I was pregnant. In this episode you get to meet Gibbs’ Dad for the first time. And guess what his name is?? Yup. Jackson Gibbs.
Wierd huh??
Cue the theme to “The Twilight Zone”
DOO DOO DOO DOO
DOO DOO DOO DOO
That’s actually pretty cool!
WE LOVE NCIS!! I liked the name Jethro for that reason, lol
I haven’t seen that episode though, too funny!
Jethro makes me think of The Beverly Hillbillies. I thought when you said Gibson that you selected that name in honor of your fellow Aussie, Mel Gibson, lol.
Yup, Pa Walton is Gibbs dad. LOL I’ve always loved Mark Harmon, he’s a cutie.
I don’t know who Pa Walton is? Should I? I did a google search but came up with nothing.
Martha, it was never Mel Gibson
I do love his baby blues though. Did you know although he’s considered an Aussie he was not born here.
