Hey I hope they will. I know Rosalynn has 3 Nemo shirts, a dress, and shoes. She is also getting a nemo game for her birthday along with hats, plates, streamers, cake the whole works. She loves Nemo because he has a lucky fin just like her. :)

I have wondered the same thing. I am 32 year old and fell in love with nemo. I could relate to him. And don't fall off of your chair now people....but....I went on my birthday (last Wednesday) and got a finding nemo tattoo on my ankle. I just had the mod quad surgery done on Sept. 11th and I just had to do it. I'll have to take a picture of him and send it if you want to see it. It's fabulous!!!
My friends have even started calling me Nemo!!
I love it!!

Hi all,
Here I go - I am alittle unsure about this idea but that's probably because of the age of my child - 11 yrs old, in Middle school now, boy crazy.....going to dances and football games and many crushes on boys in her classes. I don't think that she would like being called "Nemo" and that is probably what will happen if Nemo discusses brachial plexus injuries. I think that for younger kids Nemo is probably a 'hero' type, and for adults - they are hopefully past the adolescent/teen phase of trying to fit in.....but for middle aged kids from about 7 and up to about 18 or even early 20's this could be hard for them. Kids start calling my child "Nemo" now and that will be a hard nickname to ever live down, even as she gets older, and it will draw constant attention to her arm when she does not want that attention. She'll be getting, "Why does everyone call you Nemo???" and then she'd have to explain and maybe she won't want to. I think that if she were older though like Rachel, she probably would like it. I think that an actor, actress or an adult who has this injury might be better, because they would be a safe role model that wouldn't carry an image or a nickname - but just talk seriously about about this injury. I do understand everyone else's views too - - just thought I'd share mine.
