Each child comes pre-packaged with its own parental trauma!

Or, what not to name your baby: an instructive poem
New Zealand couple P. and S. W. don’t understand what all the fuss is about.
They have attracted worldwide attention because of their fight to be allowed to name their infant son "4Real."
They chose the name, they say, because after viewing an ultrasound during the pregnancy it suddenly hit them that the idea of parenthood had become - you guessed it - for real.

Some fine names there -- I shudder at the on-coming patter of tiny google hits as thousands of graceless parents rush at us..
