A Green Bay couple gave birth to a healthy eight-pound baby boy Sunday, except for an injury that is also currently plaguing their favorite team’s MVP quarterback. When nurses discovered their son, who arrived several weeks early, had a broken left collarbone, Kyle Dryer and Kristal Tyczkowski knew they had to christen their son “Aaron Rodger Dryer.”

The Green Bay Press-Gazette tells the entire story.

And while the youngster still has to do some healing — and growing — before he is ready for some football, his parents already suspect the little guy will someday follow his namesake quarterback Aaron Rodgers onto the gridiron.

“He’ll be taking snaps,” his father, Kyle Dryer, said Tuesday as the family returned from the hospital and settled into their home on Green Bay’s west side.

Baby Aaron was born at 12:20 p.m. Sunday at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center in Green Bay. He was a couple of weeks early, and his parents had not really settled on a name yet.

But when the nurses discovered the broken left collarbone — on the same side as the quarterback’s injury — the parents did not need long to choose a name. Kyle was the first to suggest it.

“I said, ‘That’s not a bad name,’” recalled the baby’s mother, Kristal Tyczkowski. “That’s when we knew.”

They dropped the “s” from Rodgers because they thought Rodger sounded better as a middle name.

The story notes that the parents were initially considering naming young Aaron after a Harry Potter character, so while the little guy will have to overcome a little soreness to start his life, it’s actually probably much better than having to go through the rest of it as “Ronald Weasley Dryer” or “Lucius Malfoy Dryer.”
