<DIV>In this morning's Register-Guard, there is a story about naming a child
that somewhat illustrates what this list has been going through for the past
week or so.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To summarize the first part, the couple lost a son, Ethan, in a freak
accident a year ago and were having a hard time coping, thinking that their
lives would always be in winter - no summer. To make a long story short,
another child was on the way to be born on Mother's Day but was a few days
late. We pick up the story there (and I will not use their correct names, only
the child's).</DIV>
<DIV> "John and Jane's daughter was born about 3 a.m. Her
middle name Elexis, was purposely spelled with an "E" -- not the more
traditional "A" -- in honor of Ethan. And her first name was purposely chosen to
offset what Jane calls the "dark, desolate place" they've been:</DIV>
<DIV> Summer. As in Summer Elexis (last name
omitted).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can read the story in Bob Welch's column at <A
