I have an uncle named Tom as well as a cousin. The cousin is still known as Little Tom, even though he is nearing sixty years of age.
I've seen that carried to the extreme. My grandfather was Big Turpin, my uncle was Little Turpin and my brother was Least Turpin. (in the meantime he has become Big Turpin).

Congratulations to you and your wife, Jack! And a hearty welcome to Struan Alasdair.
