I think this article applies even to choosing a nickname for your child. Parents tend to choose embarrassing nicknames for their kids when they are small. At that time, it may sound cute. But later on, it sticks and cannot be gotten rid of. I have met so many Chintus who were over 6 feet tall. Not to mention the 'Baby's' who already have grandchildren!

Why make him share it with someone else? Plus there's always a possibility that his namesake may not have been liked by the family.
