Tom's Tall Tales - "Why did you name your baby that?"

(Tribune)

What to call the new baby?
I cannot think of any decision more crucial than the name the proud parents choose for their offspring.
I am not being derisive. I am dead serious, and I am speaking from experience. I’ve had family members draw lines in the sand when two couples choose the same family name. Not a pleasant sight for the rest of the family and a terrific way to launch a grand family brawl that could last for generations.
