Rapoport's "Women who lost her names" and Kingsolver's Covered Bridges

First, Rapoport's short story The Woman Who Lost Her Names was (to the best of my knowledge) about a woman Sarah Josephine. In school she was called Sally and later her husband told her she had to change her name in order for them to be married. I'm not quite sure if she did, or if she just simply went by her middle name, Yosef.
When she was young, she was warned by her mother to "remember who you are and you'll have yourself. No matter what else you loose-." She fell in love, moved to Jerusalem and had children. The story ends with her and her husband arguing over the name of the daughter. The wife picks out a beautiful name while the husband feels it is their duty to name it somthing else. I felt this story ended abruptly and it seems that there should be more to it.

Barbara Kingsolver's Covered Bridges is about a couple in their late 30's, trying to decide whether or not to have a baby. They decide to try out being parents by "borrowing" a friend's baby girl. Things are not going to well for the would be parents when the woman suffers from anaphylactic shock and the husband saves her life. They decide parenting may not be for them, but the husband knows how important it is to his wife.
