Tips for choosing baby names ! - 2006/11/28 15:03 Every parent get worried while choosing their baby's name:
Some tips from me:

- be aware of initials so that they won't sound stupid like P.I.G

- Be careful that similar name doesn't exist in your near relative, otherwise it will create confusion

- think of your child's future

- don't think of some unusual name whose meaning don't exist in the dictionary

Any other tips if you have, please share here.

Re:Tips for choosing baby names ! - 2007/01/06 13:05 You bet! Naming babies is a major responsibility for any parent because unless they apply for a name change from the local civil registry the chidl would be carrying that name forever.

Some parents tend to name their children in honor of their parents and grandparents thus we see a lot of the 1st, Jr, the 2nd, the 3rd and so on. Please be more creative parents!

Parents should also be careful in naming their children after famous people in history. Research on why that person is famous first of all. Or else, you may be naming your child after an unpopular but still famous person!

if you want to name your kid by combining your name and your spouse's name, make sure that it doesn't sound weird.

Re:Tips for choosing baby names ! - 2008/06/21 13:49 I made the mistake of giving quite a long name for my daughter. She kinda had a hard time writing it down and familiarizing the letters when she started school. After that, my other children have each a 4-letter name. babygifts
