Picking names is a tricky business. The wrong choice of name, (or even
order of initials), can condemn a child to a lifetime of derision from
peers, drill sergeants, and miscellaneous spectators. (Ask me about my
surname....)
There's nominative determinism to consider;

their daughter Sue, she's bound for a life in law.
It's also hard to know when you have it right; my parents picked my
4-letter first name because they thought it would be hard to misspell.
Wrong!
