issues

Think about how many characters on LOST are named by someone that doesn't ultimately raise them.

Walt was named by Michael, but not raised by him until he was 10.

Aaron was named by Claire, but was only with her until he was a few months old.

Ben was named by his mother, who died shortly after.

Alex was named by Danielle, but snatched and raised by Ben after only a week.

Ji Yeon was named (kind of) by Jin, but still hasn't actually met her father.

ETA John Locke was named by his mother who left him to be raised in foster care.

Once again, my two passions (names and LOST) converge...
