Nolan is named after a starfish or a missionary

(A conversation between me and my 5 year old Son Nolan Patrick.  My 7 year old son James is listening)

Me:  Nolan, why is everyone wearing green today?
Nolan:  I don't know.
Me:  Well it is because today is Saint Patricks day.
Nolan:  OK
Me:  Nolan, your middle name "Patrick", do you know who we named you after?
James: (interrupting) From Spongebob Squarepants.  Nolan, your middle name comes from Spongebob's friend, Patrick, he is a star fish and he lives under a rock.
Nolan:  Oh, OK
