Naming Your Baby

Naming your baby is one of the most exciting activities in preparing for its birth. It is also one of the most important decisions you make. Many factors go into this decision. Here are 10 hints on how to name your baby.

It should be associated with pleasantries. The definition should also be meaningful. A name is a strong first impression. Imagine the child using the name not only on the playground, but as an adult.

In general, the number of syllables in the first name should not match the number of syllables in the last name. Say the first, middle and last name several times to test the rhythm. Say the first name and last name together, too.

This goes for the two main initials, as well as all three initials. If the initials are not satisfactory, then the first and middle name can be switched. The child can still use the middle name on a daily basis.
