    I’ve gotta know what the conversation with the wife was like. Is she also an Evangelion fan? Did he just float ‘Rei’ as a unique name?

      Honestly, that’s probably what happened. My kid has a somewhat unique name that’s a derivative of a fictional character, and I brought it up randomly as an idea and it stuck.

        Thought about Theo for my son. Short for Theoden. Wife was on board (with Theo) but we ended up going with something else
