- How
Does The Name Sound?
This is definitely the most important factor. When you
say the name aloud does it have a pleasing sound? Choose a name and say it
repeatedly. Call it out loud and see if it appeals to you and your spouse.
Also, call out the first name along with your last name. Now if your last
name is ?Weiss' then naming your baby boy ?Seth' or ?Ross' would make it:
Seth Weiss or Ross Weiss! Not so pleasing is it? An Adam Weiss on the
other hand has a nicer ring to it! - What
Does The Name Mean?
Once you select a name that you and your spouse really
like, go ahead and find out what it means. Often the nicest sounding names
have extremely unpleasant meanings or means nothing at all. While some
parents are ok with that, others may not be. Also, it is really nice to
grow up knowing your name means something lovely like a little girl named
?Dew' or a boy named ?Michael'. - Is It
Appropriate To The Baby's Gender?
Again, while unisex clothes and unisex everything has
become really popular, are you sure you really want a unisex name for your
baby? Let your baby's name reflect his or her gender. While some names are
genuinely acceptable for both and often we use nicknames for our children
that could belong to either gender, a baby's proper name must be suitable
to its gender. Having a boy's name for a girl or vice versa can make
things very difficult for your child during the early school years. - Is
The Name Trendy And Currently Popular? Not Too Popular Is It?
Another thing to keep in mind when naming your baby is
whether the name is currently popular and trendy or not? Names like
Calista and Leonardo are of all the rage, thanks to Ally McBeal - the hit
TV series and Titanic - the movie. Many parents continue to prefer using
Biblical names like John and Mary for their children.
However, often it pays not to follow the bandwagon. You could look hard
and find a really unique name for your little angel. Just make sure its
not so unique as to be made fun of! - Tradition
Has Value
Lastly, there's a lot to be said for tradition. Naming
the baby as per ?numerology' or even for the ancestors can have a positive
impact on the baby's future. Even if you take these astrological signs
with a pinch of salt? a little bit of extra luck never hurt anyone!
