I think you misunderstood, dear. Obviously they are quite properly registered as Ezekiel and Daniel - even our lieberal government has not yet restricted the number of permitted syllables, though that is probably only a matter of time. I was just referring to them by their family pet names. If Zeke is good enough for our beloved Pastor, it is more than good enough for a child of mine!
In time you will (I pray) learn about the need to abbreviate your children's names. With 7 sons + a daughter + 3 stepdaughters, it makes issuing instructions and rebukes so much quicker.
Bless you, though, dear, for your concern for me in this matter. You are the very embodiment of Philippians 2:4.
With fond regards,
