hey in mexico, sometimes kids aren't named until it's for certain they
will survive.

they are called Nino, Nina (boy, girl) or hijo, hijo (son, daughter) -
that's how my mom ended up with a nickname Nina.

see, there's all these family names they want to pass on, and infant
mortality can still be pretty high in some areas, so they wait, instead of
burying papa's namesake as 2 months  - which is also considerred bad luck
for the namesaker person.

i commend chris for her cultural sensitivy and awareness (:
