I'm guessing that the baby will be named after whoever dies. And I'm beginning to think that Mrs. Mxy is right about the life-force-transfer device, and that Sam (probably) or Bernie (possibly) will be the one(s) to die.
Hmmm... Bernard Sam Kent? (It wouldn't be "Sam Bernard Kent," since that sounds too much like a large rescue dog.)
Joy,

Luckily for (most) kids, the middle name is only used when they are *really* in trouble - especially if you wind up with a name that is almost St. Bernard!
You are partially right about honoring the dead person.
