Is there a way that if a child frame were created, C-x 5 0, and
subsequently M-x set-frame-name, that the name I give it could be
concatenated with the parental frame, at all times?
Parent frame name = "ProjectX"
Child frame rename = "Branch"
Actual Child frame name after rename = "ProjectX [Branch]"
Thanks.

As far as I know, Emacs does not keep track of which frame was selected
(the parent) when a new frame is created (the child). But you should be
able to do that explicitly:
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions
(lambda (frame)
(modify-frame-parameters frame
`((parent-frame .
,(selected-frame))))))
(defadvice set-frame-name (before interactive activate)
"When called interactively, provide the parent frame's name as the
initial input."
(interactive (list (read-string "Frame name: "
(concat (frame-parameter
(frame-parameter
(selected-frame)
'parent-frame)
'name)
" ")))))

Thanks Kevin,
I'll give this a shot.
