Choosing Your Baby's Name
Filed in archive Baby Gear on December 20, 2007
What factors do you consider important when choosing baby names? Something cool? Something classic? Something that starts with a specific letter? Something unique? Something popular?
Well, I don't know about you, but here are some things I consider important:
1. It should sound nice, something that rolls off the tongue easily, and goes well with our surname.
2. The spelling shouldn't be too complicated. Having an unusual full name myself, I know how irritating it can be if you always have to spell out your name to other people.
3. Not too unique, not to common. I don't want people to respond with "Huh?!" when I tell them my baby's name, nor do I want my child to have the same name as 5 others in his/her class.
4. Not too cute. Some names are great for children, but sounds ridiculous for adults.
5. Ancestry. Ours being a binational marriage, I want a name that represents, even if just a touch, my baby's roots.
Have you chosen a name yet? How did you decide on that?
