When selecting a name for your baby, it is almost the same
as choosing his or her identity.  You may have heard about
the association of a person’s name with their identity.
That is really how our names work.  A name tends to mold a
person’s identity like a cookie-cutter.  Therefore, select
the best name possible for your son or daughter.  Listed
below are some tips on how to select the best baby name for
your little angel.

1.   Please cease to follow the family tradition.  Selecting
a name for your baby does not have to rely on what your
elderly relatives deem as the best name.  It is your baby,
not theirs.  Therefore select a name that you want.  Once
your baby is born and named, it will have that name for
life, so do not settle for a name just because it suits your
grandmother or aunties taste.  It is essential that you, as
the parents, select a name of your choice.

2.   It is essential that you look into the future.  You do
not want to select a name that will result in your child
being ridiculed by his playmates, making a laughing stock
out of him.   It is advised that you research the meaning of
the name that you wish to give your child.  Under no
circumstances consider the name Beelzebub just because you
heard it on a TV show and think that it is a cute name.
Also, do not call your child Rodelfa simply because a
particular Mexican TV show has a hunky lead actor by the
name of Rodolfo.  Do not say yes to any name that pops into
your head when thinking about certain people or celebrities.
3.   It is essential that you look at the initials of your
baby name.  It is important to ensure that they do not
translate into something comical, disturbing, or plain
stupid.  The initials from names such as Christine Sue
Irving, will only result in people asking “what will happen
on the next episode?”  Or a name such as Alvin Stephen
Stuart, for obvious reasons.  And one that you should
certainly avoid is Fran Ursula Catherine Klein, as this can
surely put your child in a very sickening situation when he
or she grows up.

4.   Refer to your family tree.  If you are a person that
wishes to include a name from a certain family member to be
a part of your baby’s name, then you need to know if anyone
else has the exact name or not, as this can cause confusion
for some people when calling a name that is owned by two.
Therefore it is advised to research all names of the family.

5.   Avoid overkill at all times.  It can certainly backfire
when thinking of a name that is too creative.  Unique
spellings are an example of this.  It may be difficult for
the child to repeatedly spell his or her name, when other
people only know the common spelling of such a name.

6.   It is essential that you and your partner are both
involved in the selection of your baby’s name.  It is not a
nice prospect of being blamed when people inquire as to who
chose that awful name!  But really joking aside, sharing
this kind of decision is a further way of bonding as a
couple, and also the possibility of coming up with a better
name.  Remember that very familiar saying “two heads are
better than one”.

Therefore, selecting a name which sounds nice as well as
avoiding embarrassing initials and disgusting meanings are
some of the most major concerns that need to be taken into
consideration when choosing a name for your baby.  It can be
a little bit taxing deciding upon a name, but in the long
run all of your homework will pay off in selecting the
correct name for your baby.  So all that remains to be said
is ‘happy baby naming’.
