What will the future be
like for your child with a particular name? You don’t
want your child to be stuck with a name that will cause
him embarrassment or ridicule. Do some research about the
meaning of the baby name you are considering giving to
your baby. Don’t consider Doodle Bop as a prospective baby
name just because you heard it from a TV show and you find
it cute. Don’t use Rodelfa just because a certain Spanish
TV show’s handsome lead actor is named Rodolfo. Try not to
settle for the first name that pops into your head or the
name of the most famous celebrity at the time.
Take a moment to consider
the initials of the baby name you are planning to give
your baby. Make sure they don’t stand for anything funny,
disturbing or ridiculous. Alice Stephanie Stuart? Can you
imagine the mortifying situations you may put your child
into when he or she is growing up?
If you want to go with
your traditional family names, check through your
family tree, check to see if there are any cousins with
the exact same name you're thinking of using. You'll
prevent alot of confusion down the road if you do. Some
families have three or four Christopher John's of varying
ages. Gets downright confusing when you try to locate a
particular person from the phone book.
Watch out for overdoing it
with the clever spellings. Being too creative when
thinking of a baby name can backfire, I’m telling you.
Your child will be constantly spelling his or her name or
people will misspell it because they only know the common
spelling of a certain name.
Your partner and you
should decide your baby name. It wouldn't be nice to
be always blamed when people ask who chose that awful baby
name, right? Okay, kidding aside. It's a better idea to
share the responsibility of choosing a baby name because
two heads are always better than one and it's a very
special time that you can share together.
Take your time when
choosing a baby name. Do your research of baby name
meanings, your family traditions and spellings. Say the
potential baby name over and over again aloud to hear how
the full name rolls off your tongue. Write it down and
make sure to double check the initials. But most all, find
a name that pleases both you and your partner. Your baby
will love you both for it.
