How Did Blueberry & Gaius Get Their Names?

We get a lot of questions at Shelter Institute about how to build things, and what the best tools are for a specific project...but the questions we get the MOST are about our names.
"Are those stage names?"
"Aw come on, what are your real names?"
"Are your parents hippies?"

Blueberry is a awesome name. Your sweet personality literally fits the name. Gaius is actually a common name in Europe. I’ve known several people with that name.

[@WelshRabbit]

The first time I heard you were Gaius, I immediately thought of Julius C. In school Latin class, we always pronounced the "ai" in Gaius to rhyme to "sky" or "guy." To-may-to, ta-mah-to.... Regardless, Salve, Magister! Salve, Magistra! Cheers.

Welsh Rabbit thanks for watching.....and the kind Latin.

I know someone whose middle name is Huckleberry. The "backstory" possibilities may be similar!🍇 Tks for sharing your origin stories!

[@jefflabrozzi9592]

Great story for your names.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Hey, Bertha, that was really fun. Gus seems like a good brother, too.I think taking your class would be really fun but my calling in this stage of life is milking, feeding, and cleaning up after cows every day. Not much time for anything else...

It’s ok blueberry. By your logic I’m a “VW van in a parking garage.” Be proud. At least you don’t have that name. 🤷‍♂️
You guys are awesome btw. More uploads plz. Kinda got me hooked. Love from California.

You can look up the name of the young lady I was sitting next to in class, I will call her Boston. When Gaius put his name on the board, I leaned over to her and said the class is being taught a Caesar. She immediately looked it up. Blueberry, you are not a Bertha!

[@rogerbettencourt9654]

That was great you guys.

[@chickfamilyink]

I am totally going to address Gaius as Gazoo today. Blueberry gets to be Blueberry though.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Ahhhh, come on. You can call Blueberry another berry.....or Martha or Babette.....be creative!

[@ShelterInstitute]

Shane Chick a little sad......I never heard you call me Gazoo today!!

[@chickfamilyink]

@@ShelterInstitute Sure I did, we were standing in front of the coffee pot, though you could be excused for not registering. I did break the rules of talkie before coffee. Thanks for the great week, you can be sure I will be singing your praises!

[@amandawilcox9638]

@@chickfamilyink Oh my! Coffee before Talkie is THE rule in my world. I squeak and squawk pre-coffee. Good one!

[@BrianMCarney]

Thank you guys!

[@MollerFarm]

You guys are great - someday I'll be able to come take your course :)

[@jimiemick]

Great names.
I have an “easy” name, James Michael White
But even with an easy name I have to spell it out for people. 🤷‍♂️

[@davehalst]

It could have been worse Blueberry, you could have be called Delight! (🎵Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight....🎵) 🤔😎😂

[@amandawilcox9638]

Dave, you pulled THAT out of the deep, dark past! "Sky rockets at night" and all!👍

[@Dr.MountainND]

That was actually funny. I would take a class from you two just for the stress relief!!

[@tomtrahan8485]

Enjoyed!

[@hickerbilly345]

Gaius sounds like a version of joyous to me

[@jjcavins8312]

Haha great vid!

[@NSResponder]

I've always heard "Gaius" pronounced as "Guy-us".

[@terrym5004]

You guys are cute, thanks for great content keep it up 👍
