Choosing a baby name for your child is a bit like selecting his identity. Ever heard of the association of a person’s name with his character? That’s how our names really work. A name molds a person’s identity like a cookie-cutter. Hence better get that best baby name for your daughter or son. Keep on reading for some tips on how to provide that best baby name for your tiny angel.
1. Stop it already with the commands of your family’s tradition. Selecting the right baby name does not have to always rely on what your old family determine to be the best baby name. It’s your baby’s name, not theirs. Hence better act like it. Once your little one is born he’s going to be stuck with that baby name for life. That suggests it is not sensible to just accept any baby name that will suit your grandma’s or auntie’s taste.
2. Take a look of a picture of his future. You do not want your baby to be always called with a monicker that will forever disrespect him or will allow his playmates to make a giant object of ridicule out of him, right? Research about the meaning of the baby name you are eyeing to give to your baby. Don’t consider Beelzebub as a prospective baby name just because you heard it from a TV show and you find it lovable. Do not use Rodelfa because a certain Mexican TV show’s hunky lead actor is called Rodolfo. Just simply saying yes to your gutfeel, thinking of the people that pops into your head upon hearing somebody spout a certain name, trying to follow a trend by naming your baby a certain celebrity’s (occasionally notorious) or NOT THINKING AT ALL in giving your dear one their baby name are huge no-nos!
3. Consider reading the initials of the baby name you are making plans to give your baby. Ensure they don’t stand for anything funny, upsetting or something definitely stupid. Christine Sue Irving? What will occur on the next episode? Alvin Stephen Stuart? He’ll certainly remember not to get near any hole. Fran Ursula Catherine Klein? Uh-oh! See? Are you able to imagine the sickening situation you’ll put your child into when she grows up?
4. Go check your family history forever. Some can’t still escape from some conventions regarding baby name choices, especially when they have a special bond with a certain member of the family that they desire that person’s name to be part of their baby’s name. If your planning to still follow the convention of putting part of your elder family names on your child’s name, you really have to know whether anybody else in your family use that name too. You do not want to confuse people when they are calling a name that is owned by two. Ask around.
5. Don’t go for the over the top. Being too creative on thinking of a baby name can backfire. Examples are too unique spellings. It’s going to be hard for the kid to keep on spelling their name to folks who only know the common spelling of such name.
6. Decide with your partner in coming up with the best baby name for your sweet baby. It wouldn’t be nice to be always blamed when folk ask who selected that awful baby name, right? OK, kidding aside. Sharing on this type of decision making is a good method of furthering your bond as a couple, not to mention the chance of coming up with a better baby name. Remember the ‘two heads are much better than one’ thought also applies to coping with the troubles of finding the most suitable baby name for your little one.
Sound, appeasing kin and mates and avoiding humiliating initials and discovery of disgusting meanings are a selection of the major concerns that should be considered in your quest for the perfect baby name. You may find them a bit taxing. But eventually, you’ll see that doing your homework will make your baby many thanks when the best time comes. Happy baby naming!
