Name Game Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

I don’t know if there are standard customs or traditions of giving name.
Or you can just name a baby anything you like
Like naming your baby as France, Vienna, Soviet or Uganda
Or Harry, Ron, Hermione, Edward, Jacob or Bella

Some just get names from the bible
Names like, Peter, Paul and John
Joshua, David, Elijah, Ruth and Jonathan

Some names are as divine as the Greek and Roman deities,
Names like Venus, Minerva, Cupid or Zeus

Some names are as fragrant as the flowers
Names like Violet, Lily, Hyacinth, and Rose

Some names are as precious as the jewels
Names like Jasper, Emerald, Ruby or Gold

Some combined wife's and the husband's name.
Name their child Alexsandra from Alex and Sandra

Some get it from the virtues
Names like Felicity, Faith, Charity, Love and Hope

I also appreciate those who give their babies names like,
Elixir, Victor Nice, Sunshine, Sweet, Apple.

If ever I’ll be asked what names for their baby to give
I would like these names as a gift,
A child to be named, Favor, Excel or Maven
Or named them Brilliance, Elegance, or Radiance

So if given the chance to choose your name,
Will it be different or will it still be the same?
