    18-day-old Mariana Reese Sifri was born a healthy baby girl. Just six days after her birth, she stopped eating and became unresponsive. She has died just 10 days after she was hospitalized with an unexpected illness. Doctor detected a type of virus in her body that’s responsible for cold sores (唇疱疹）. Both parents tested negative for the virus , leading doctors to conclude that the virus had come from someone else who had touched or kissed Mariana--- someone with the cold sore virus--- but not necessarily with an open or noticeable sore.

    By age 40, over 90 percent of the population has been exposed to the cold sore virus, according to Katherine Miao. And it can be spread without a noticeable cold sore, says Dr . Jarrett Patton. While in adults, the virus doesn’t usually present much risk, in babies, it can become serious and even deadly if it spreads throughout the body.

    If someone with the virus touches a baby’s hand, says Dr, Patton, and the baby then touches its eyes, nose, or mouth, the virus can quickly infect the baby. Because a newborn baby has an underdeveloped immune system, the virus can quickly take the form of meningitis (脑膜炎)-- a serious illness in which the tissue surrounding the brain becomes infected and swollen.

    Does this mean that we need to keep people from touching and kissing our babies? Dr. Miao says that “ Exposure to the world is part of how the baby’s immune system develops”. she therefore advocates a “ common sense approach”. Anyone who is obviously ill shouldn’t be getting anywhere close to a newborn. And people who want to touch a baby should wash their hands first. In addition, it’s a good idea to limit the touching on the stomach and forehead.

    “This is a rare and extraordinary sad event,” says Charles E. Crutchfield, professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School,  “and it reminds us all that we have to be very discreet around babies”.

Why did Mariana die at the age of 18 days?

    Carri Kessler and her husband Michael, from Maryland, initially gave their daughter a unique a beautiful name: Ottilie, which was inspired by a friend in the UK who helped them a lot. But then the problems started. “No one could remember it and no one could pronounce it,” she explained. Even the nurse at the hospital didn't know what the name was, but the real problem came when after six weeks Mrs Kessler's own grandmother was having trouble with the name.  She said, “I don't know how to say her name. I have Post-its all over the house so I can remind myself,” she explained.

    After three months Mrs Kessler raised the idea with her husband about changing their daughter's name, and he agreed. After discussing the new name choice with many, many people, including her mother, the couple decided to rename their daughter Margot. They sent out a mass email to inform their extended family and friends of the name change, and said that the reaction was positive.

    The Kesslers’ situation is not uncommon as an increasing number of parents experience the same as the Kesslers. According to Baby Center Canada, 11% of its users wish they could change their child’s name due to being overpopular , mispronounced or simply unfitting. Parents care a lot more and think a lot more about names now than their parents.

    To deal with this, a number of name experts now offer services to help parents choose the right name. Couples have also sought help from the Internet to choose their baby’s name. However, parents can change their child’s name in the event that they regret their choice . In Canada, the rules vary in each province. For instance, In Ontario, the child must have lived in the province for the past 12 months, or since birth if under the age of one. Each of the child’s legal guardians must also give permission.
