One of the most exciting choices for expecting parents is
selecting their baby's name. It's a choice that, while fun to make,

a lot of anxiety. Choosing the right name for your child is probably one of the
most important decisions you will make for him,

she will go down in posterity with a regal sounding name, choose the wrong name,
and you could find your kid blaming you for the rest of his life for being
teased day in and day out in school yards.
If you want to give your child
a name you can be proud (and more importantly, HE can be proud of), you will
have to give name-choosing a lot of thought. At least make it a point that when
you are asked about how you came up with the name, you won't say it was a spur
of the moment thing.
Here are a few
name-choosing tips to help you find the right name for your baby.
1. Put
In a Lot of Thought
A name to be proud of is a name well thought out,

give yourself a lot of time to think of what you would like your child's name to
be. One pointer would be to find some significance to your child's. Avoid
choosing a name just because it sounds right.
During older days, parents
would choose names that would describe their children or the circumstances
regarding their birth - hence names such as Grace (believing their child to be
given by grace), Hope, Red, and others. Names surrounding circumstances are also
good starting points. Names such as Serendipity, however tortuous, still make a
unique sounding name. You will want to avoid names such as Running Dog and Hot
Summer, though,

Some will choose a name based on people they want their
children to be like - John (after St. John), Mary, Peter, Errol (Yes, Errol
Flynn),

names that might bring to mind unsavory historical figures of infamy (Adolph?).
2. Put Yourself in Your Child's shoes and try on a name for
size
Constantly ask yourself the question, will this name cause me a lot
of grief in school? Try avoiding names that are hard to spell and write. That
would make it a problem in the future with documents and correspondence that are
mislabeled due to confusing names. For example, if you name your child Mychael
instead of Michael, people will still think Michael is the right spelling. While
Mychael is quite a unique choice, it could lead to a lot of
confusion.
Also test if the name you chose will be the source of teasing
and rhyming at school. Find a name that is less likely to be used in teasing
(which is terribly hard - you can never underestimate the creativity of grade
school kids). You will have to think well and hard to avoid names that would
create that kind of childhood torture. Consider your family name when doing so.
The way your family name and the name you choose go together will determine
whether your kid arrives home crying every day or not,

As a general
rule try avoiding having names where vowels and consonants run in to each other.
If the name you choose ends with a vowel and your family name starts with a
vowel, it could create the illusion that the full name is a single word. For
example, Lei Orr doesn't quite sound right doesn't it? Nathan Matterhorn is a
little confusing isn't it?
Also as a general rule try avoiding tongue
twisters - that probably removes Peter Piper from your list.
3. Consult
But Consider
Consulting a baby name book can yield some pretty
interesting results. The advantage of these books is that they also give the
meaning of the names they list. This makes it easier to find a name that best
describes what you would want for you baby. Relatives and friends will want to
suggest names, let them do just that - suggest.
