Naming a Child

 This is the biggest decision facing parents to be. I will outline the problem.

The name has to have a bit of both parents' names. Otherwise, you wouldn't know that they were equal contributors in this production. So a complicated set of combos appears on the menu, with many possible permutations and combinations.

It cannot be just any name, can it? Has to be special. He or she could be a game-changer, so you have to be a name-finder!

It can't also be too complicated for a foreign tongue to pronounce, coz he/she might just land up being a Venezuelan (Ok, Canadian is more likely) citizen. And woe betide, if they mangle the name, it might leave scars on the not-so-young impressionable mind!

Therefore, you see, it's a nimble act like those tight-rope walkers who are almost extinct now. They live on as parents to be, before they have named a child they will bring into this universe.
