ADVICE FOR NEW MOTHERS
Estimate the size your child will be when fully grown and christen them "Small', "Medium", "Large", or "Extra Large" accordingly.
When they are older they will thus have their names sewn into their clothing automatically.

Author's Note
Many moons ago, when I was just a little thing, we had two Greek tortoises, Speedy, the small male and Gonzales, a large female, that we kept in the garden and hibernated using the Blue Peter method. In those days, a pet tortoise was a common sight crawling about on the family lawn or in the back yard. You could buy them quite cheaply in any pet-shop and they were considered to be the least troublesome of all childhood pets as you pretty much just left them to get on with it, and, of course, they were quite harmless unless you were a tomato. (which everyone fed them, back then).
Tortoises used to be brought into England (and probably Wales, Scotland and Ireland, too, one supposes) by the thousand, packed in crates and they came mostly from North Africa and particularly Morocco, I suspect. But half a lifetime ago now, a new law was passed that made it illegal to bring any of these tortoises into the country. This was not done to protect us. The little tortoise was not a danger to anybody non-vegetable in origin. It was done purely out of kindness to the tortoise itself and not even to protect the dandelions. You see, the traders who brought them in used to cram hundreds of them tightly into packing cases and socks without food and water and in such horrible conditions that a great many of them always died on the sea-journey over. So rather than allow this cruelty to go on, the Government stopped the whole business forcing the Moroccans to sell their tortoises cheaply to their own people or make them into banjos and fire bellows for tourists.
The things you are going to read about in this story all happened in the days when anyone could go out and buy a nice little tortoise from a pet shop.
