Summary
On the naming of Harry/Mary Potter. Two-shot: Lily reflects on her own name and the process of naming her child (humor); James reflects on the importance of tradition (life and responsibility). Lily is kind of petty and self-involved; James is kind of paternalistic. Both have clearly been missing the other's point.
