Having never named a baby, I'm not familiar with the process.
It appears to go differently depending on the family.
Rich folks name babies after themselves.
Poor folks name babies after their parents.
Jews name babies after prophets.
Protestants name babies after evangelists.
Catholics name babies after saints.
White folks like them old.
Black folks like them new.
Brown folks like them hyphenated.
Red folks like them mystical.
Yellow folks like them last.
Northerners turn surnames into first names.
Southerners turn given names into nicknames.
Old hippies name babies after natural phenomena.
New hippies name babies after herbs.
Hawks name babies after war heroes.
Doves name babies after literary heroes.
Conservatives name babies before they're born.
Liberals wait until babies arrive and give them a vote.
