HOW TO CHOOSE AMAZING BABY NAMES
How to choose amazing baby names
At the end of last year I got a kitten, it took me about a week to name her once I got her, I went from Dusty, to Edie, but finally settled on Nell !!
This got me thinking about baby names, and how hard it is to choose the name once they arrive. You might have your heart set on something but then the name just doesn’t feel right once they finally arrive, and for a few days your baby might just be called baby!!!
My tips on choosing the right baby name include:
Remember that classic names don’t have to be boring
Take a look at your family tree
Honor your culture
Look up meanings
Contemplate all possible nicknames
Consider the importance of the middle name
Don’t forget about the initials
Say it out loud
Keep it a secret if thats what you and your partner want
Don’t stress too much
