I used to think that when parents were discussing what to name their child, they had to do over the table at mealtimes, so the first, middle and surnane would be like breakfast, lunch and dinner, or starter, main course and dessert, with the baby name book as an imaginary menu to choose from (you get the idea, when certain subjects make you hingry for no actual reason).
