Randy took the children to the auto parts store to get a new car battery. The following conversation took place after that visit.
Ethan: Mommy, they had cars and monster trucks there! Like the ones from the Monster Truck Show!
Ellie (wide-eyed, pointing her index fingers away from her forehead): They had the one with the scary eyes!
Randy: You mean horns?
Ellie: Horns.
Randy: Do you remember that one's name?
Ethan: Ummmm.
Randy: El . . .
Ellie: Yes, Daddy?
Randy: No. Sorry, Ellie, not you. The name, it's 3 words.
Ellie: BUDDY THE ELF!
(Mommy laughing uncontrollably)

Randy: El Toro Loco
Ethan: El Loco.
Mommy: Oh, no! My belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly when I laugh.
Randy: We can call the baby Jelly.
Ellie: Sugar! We can name the baby Sugar!
Randy (mumbling): Sugar sounds like a boxer or a drug dealer.
or a monster truck driver?

As long as they name the baby Jelly and not your tummy, it's all good :)
Love the names! I think it's so fun to pick out names with older siblings.
