I find that people really like to hear their own name. In my limited experience children can be calmed enough to be directed towards the land of slumber by creating songs which mention their names.
Most nights I am too exhausted to create any worthwhile Lullabies using their names though. Choose your own Lullaby Books would offer you the creative aid in such an endeavor. For those who really don't get old fashion poetry, a section could be included demonstrating how to work with meter and the inflections of words (as I still am no Shakespear).
Example:
David and Michael riding on a motorcycle
David De Leone says we won't be gone long
Michael De Bruin says don't worry we'll be back soon
Michael and David better behave'd
David and Michael riding on a motorcycle.
(I think I am big enough to handle most criticisms on such an idea).

A small pocket PC (or PDA) would be ideal for this.

Making rhymes in english is soooo complicated. I like this idea. I love lullabies.
