Name, Naming Named

I am named
Name, naming, named
From the cradle to the grave
I am named

The search for a name
Suitable for a child loved
By once parents

Days, weeks
Oh!!!!
Months
Spent searching for a name that would
Last from the cradle to the grave

A few are played with and dropped
Not liked by the
Mom or the Dad

A football star, Nah says the Mom
A musician, Nah says the Dad
Now we find ourselves
In a Mexican stand

Bingo then finally
A name is chosen
To last from the cradle To the grave

A character is formed
Followed by a persona
And as I grow, with the name
Firmly placed as my subject heading

I am named
Name naming named
From the cradle To the Grave
I am named
