Most children, at some point in their lives, will show an interest in sports. Even if they soon lose that interest, they will have any way learned important lessons.
Dealing with discipline, learning to set ground rules, sharing enthusiasm and passion for a common cause are important for the rest of their lives.
In your search for the most suitable name for your baby, you may find inspiration while watching a basketball game or the U.S. Open tennis tournament.
