Naming Baby

naming baby
never easy
difficult to choose one name

many others want to help
butting in when not needed
suggesting names you would never use

Daisy Lily Tulip Julep?
Muffin Scone Apple Banana Cornbread?
Mike Milton, Mannie, Maximillion?

A name is finally agreed upon
But it does not seem to fit this baby.
You leave the hospital with a name you thought of six minutes ago.
