a few scenes where Rand tries to build baby furniture with the True Power, with predictably bad consequences. "But Daddy, my nightlight makes the room darker!" Remember the clown bed that Homer Simpson built for Bart? =)
I haven't seen a lot of evidence of the name-sake business in Randland. RJ prolly realized how much confusion it would create!
Elayne would likely name her kids after some of her nobler ancestors, though. Min won't have to worry because she's on the pill. Aviendha will give her kids odd Aiel names - like Ji'ji, Shameael, and T'ohmas; when they smash the knicknack shelf, she'll tell them they can satisfy their debt by killing themselves.
Totally agreed on Tuon. The woman thinks that choosing not to channel is the same as choosing not to murder, and justifies hyper-slavery with it. She also uses sexual ecstasy and pain to mentally break helpless women. I really really really don't want to see ForTuona become a mommy.

What do you think Rand's children will be named?

Well, Nynaeve did name one of their children after her mother in her Testing vision, Elnore.

DomA, all of these people have namesakes who don't appear in the books at all - to reduce confusion *NM*
