The events can be of naming your own children or those of other people.

About a week before our last child was due, my then wife and I realized we had not really talked seriously about names. I had a flash of inspiration and opened my copy of The Iliad to a random page. There were only two names on it. Thank heavens the child turned out to be a girl. If she had been a boy, we would have been “stuck” with Hector, which did not appeal to us at all. The girl’s name on the page was much more to our liking.
