Remember that names are for a lifetime





Most likely, your baby will wear the name you choose for life. Your child will be known on the playground, in an interview for a job and to future generations by the name you choose. Try to make sure it's a name that your child will happily accept as an expression of self and even take pride in. Don't choose a name that is so outlandish your child will be forever handicapped by it (or ultimately drop it) or a name that is so conventional that it fades dully into the background.





Choose a name that gives you a warm, comfortable feeling





Your baby deserves a name that conveys a positive, desirable value to you and to your child throughout life. Don't choose a name that you associate with stupidity, dullness or awkwardness. Avoid names that remind you of people you genuinely dislike. Instead, think of names that you associate with beauty, intelligence, affection, strength and energy. Also, think of names that readily bring to mind people whom you admire.





Be conscious of how the name sounds





In general, a child's name will sound better if the first name does not have the same number of syllables as the last name. Practice saying the first and last name aloud, as well as the first, middle and last name to find out how they sound together. Is the name easy to pronounce, or does it sound very awkward? Does it rhyme in a too-obvious way (Mary Berry, Bart Dart) or have a meaning that will provoke derision, such as the famous "Ima Hogg", "Hamm Bone" or "Jack Daniels"?





Avoid names with initials that spell out words





Would you name your baby Richard Alexander Thompson? Maybe, until you saw "RAT" on a monogrammed baby gift! How about Penny Ursula Smith (PUS)? Try to choose a name that doesn't spell out an unexpected word with an unpleasant connotation.





Think about nicknames





Are you prepared to hear your child called by a nickname? Andrew will inevitably become "Andy" some of the time, even if you insist on the formal name. If you like the potential nicknames associated with the name you choose, well and good. But if you have strong feelings against them, think about choosing another name with nicknames you like better or consider names without commonly used nicknames such as "Eric" or "Mary."





Should you honor a family member? It's your choice





If you genuinely like the idea of naming your baby after a family member, then by all means go ahead. But if you feel obligated to do so but secretly dislike the name. Maybe it sounds too old and tired to you or reminds you of someone you never liked. Then think of an alternative. Try using the family member's name as a middle name, then selecting one you favor more as your baby's first name. Or, you might prefer a variant or alternate spelling of the family name.





However, if neither of these alternatives will work for you, just remember it's your decision. No law says you have to choose a name you don't like just because it's been used before in your family. Perhaps it's time for a new name to be introduced.





Beyond the family: Consider other meaningful names





A name reflecting your own ethnicity or religion or that of your partner also can be a positive way to affirm the baby's heritage. Or perhaps you like the historical meaning of a name that springs from a language used by your ancestors.





However, you can also feel free to consider names from other traditions. If you really like the uniqueness of such a name, don't hold yourself back. There's one exception: When first names and last names are from very different origins, the result may be a peculiar-appearing combination, such as Guillermo Max Smith or Hayley Josefina Segelowsky.





Think twice before choosing a one-of-a-kind celebrity name





Throughout history, famous people have boosted the popularity of the names they bear. If you would like to name a child after a famous person you admire, there's nothing wrong with that as long as you avoid names that may conspicuously draw attention to the original, such as Cher, Elvis, Hamlet, Fred Flintstone and Bart Simpson.





Decide whether you like the idea of a popular name





You've always loved the name "Kaitlyn" until the day you realized it was the number one choice for girl babies throughout the country. Should you go ahead and use a popular name or even seek one out. Or should you choose a less well-known name?





The benefits of a popular name for a child are the familiarity and ease with which others will use a name they know and can recognize immediately. A child with a popular name may have a leg up on acceptance in the peer group and does not have to explain how to spell or pronounce the name. Your child also will always be able to find the right personalized pencil, key chain or cup in novelty stores.





One of the most common disadvantages of a popular name is rarely being in a group without four or five people who have the same name. Your name is not distinctive enough by itself; you have to have your last initial attached before people can distinguish you. And extremely trendy names may fall out of favor quickly.





People usually greet a less common first name, as long as it isn't too unique, with pleasure and interest. However, should you choose wisely and end up with the perfect name that is well-known and nice-sounding but not too popular or trendy, you may end up with an unexpected consequence: Never being able to find that personalized cup, pencil or key chain without ordering it from a catalog!





Try to anticipate spelling or pronunciation problems





If it weren't for people injecting a little creativity and originality in the process of choosing a name, we wouldn't have as many interesting variations as we have now. Names with less-common spellings or pronunciations should not be automatically disqualified. However, use common sense to spare your child frustration. A boy with the name of "Ian" in the United Kingdom may have no problem. But a boy in the United States may be forever correcting people over the phone that think they're hearing "Ann."





Go with your heart!





There are so many things to consider! When your baby is born, you realize it's all a matter of feeling, not logic. And your feelings and your partner's matter more than any opinion offered by friends or family. Stick with the name you genuinely love. And look forward to welcoming your child, its proud bearer.





Congratulations on the baby!
