Things to Consider Before Picking A Name For Your Baby

Although you can pick any name for your baby, it is paramount to consider several parameters to select a perfect baby name. Ask yourself the following important questions before you indulge in the joyous occasion of naming your child.

 

●      Learn about the meaning of a name before you pick one. A meaningful name not only sounds better but also reflects your love and the importance of the child in your life. It conveys a deeper message to your child and the people around you.

 

●      Make sure the name sounds just right. It should not sound harsh when called out loud. Pick classic over trendy. Do not go overboard in finding a rare or unique name that has no meaning or sounds irrelevant, to just mix and match. Further, the name should sound equally attractive when the child grows up.

●      Ensure that the name blends well with your surname or middle name if you have one. Do not pick baby names that rhyme with your last name.

 

●      Explore the shorter versions of the chosen baby name because that’s how most people call out your baby. Nicknames often stem from the existing name of a baby. Also, make sure the initials of your child do not sound funny.

 

●     Be gender specific. If you do not follow this rule, you may end up with a name that sounds cute for the moment but may turn awkward as your child grows.

 

●   Pick a name that resonates with your culture and traditions. For example, Christian baby names may sound unfitting in a Hindu family. Many astrologers even suggest picking a name starting with a letter that aligns with the stars.

                                

●      Lastly, keep it short and less complicated so that anybody can pronounce it right and spell it correctly. You can always name your child inspired by a famous or legendary personality that inspires you the most. Make sure that name fits according to geography and your social setup.
