"I wish I was named after someone cool," Will said. "You're named after that guy from the bible, right? Why can't I be named after someone?"

Jonathan looked at his brother. "That's because you already are named after someone. You're named after Ziggy Stardust," he said, ruffling Will's hair, making it a mess. "You're named after one of the most flamboyant idols of rock these days. You should be proud."

"But Ziggy is just the nickname you gave me," Will said.

"So? Ziggy is the name that you can own if you really wanted to." Jonathan pulled his brother in for a hug. "C'mon Ziggy, you can make history with your own name."

Will smiled.

"Or you can base your future off of Bowie's character. Either way, you have a bit of a glam rocker in you," Jonathan finished.

There was a moment of silence as Will thought.

"I am named after Bowie's character," he said proudly, "and I take inspiration from Ziggy all the time, but I would also like to write my own story."

"Cool cool," Jonathan said, going back to the tapes that were in front of him. "So... Ziggy still?"

"Of course," Will said with a grin, starting to continue his drawing.
