Michigan couple gives 14th son creative middle name

Kateri and Jay Schwandt welcomed the birth of their son on Wednesday. Jay Schwandt said they’ve decided to name him Finley Sheboygan Schwandt.

The name doesn’t appear to have any ties with the Wisconsin city. It’s inspired by a tale his father-in-law told them about a Native American chief who was the father of many boys, Jay Schwandt said. The chief believed his last child would be a girl. When the baby was a boy, the chief named him Sheboygan for “she is a boy again.”

There’s “no chance” the couple will have another child, Jay Schwandt said, though he’s made similar statements before.
