Not long after that, Marilyn arrived at the doctor's office.

Dr. Walter asked her methodically, "What's the child's name?

"Tiger!"

The doctor raised his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face. "The child has no surname?"

Marilyn was first taken aback, then she explained. 'The child doesn't have a formal personal name. The people in the fishing village are named Tom, Dick, Harry and so on. They will only have a formal name when they grow up."

"What's the child's father's surname?"

Marilyn stuttered, "Ben."

"The child's father doesn't have a formal name too?" The doctor eyed her suspiciously.

Marilyn answered vaguely, "Mm."

"What about the child's birthday?"

Marilyn knew the answer to that question this time and blurted out, "26th July 2017."
