Question:
My husband and I have two names for our baby that we absolutely love. How can we pick just one?
Answer:

Decisions are difficult – especially big ones, like naming Baby. So why not combine your top two favorites? For example, if you like Mary and Beth, you can combine the two as Marybeth or Mary-Beth. The options for combinations are endless, from using two names as one, such as Sue Ann and Mary Kate for girls and Owen Andrew and John David for boys. Or you can merge the two together, such as Ashlynn (Ashley and Lynn) for girls and Brendon (Brent and Brandon) for boys. You can use this strategy when you can't decide between two names, or even to honor two relatives, such as both grandmas or grandpas.
