Choosing the Right Name for Your Little Angel

Now a days when it comes to naming your baby, it's almost anything goes!

And, with thousands of baby names to choose from, how do you choose one that will make your baby happy when they hear it.

You wouldn't settle for a second rate doctor or hospital during your pregnancy or the birth of your baby, so why settle for a second rate baby name that can affect your baby's feelings for a lifetime!

When choosing a baby name take your time and look through different types of baby name books, and here on the net.

Remember that whatever baby name you choose it is going to be one that you'll be saying a lot and one your baby will carry for a lifetime.

Don't Rush or Choose the First Baby Name that comes to mind and please try to give some thought as to what the name means.

Even lthough you might think the meaning of the baby name you choose doesn't  matter  remember that other people just might think  it does.

Although the hospital would prefer that you name your baby before taking the baby home some couples have waited for awhile after taking the baby home before committing to a legal name.

Keep looking until you find a baby name that completely makes you happy. More importantly it’s one that will make your baby happy as he or she grows up.

So how do you choose a baby name that reflects your baby's own uniqueness and not the current trend?

Trends come and trends go but the name you give the hospital to put on your baby's birth certificate is there forever!

Ask yourself if the name you're about to pin on your baby is one that both of you can live with now and in the future.

While you're readying the room for your new baby why not try out the baby names on a couple of the stuffed animals in the baby's room.  Try saying the names out load to the stuffed animals over and over, and see how well you like the sound of the names day after day.  You just might change your mind but, remember it's better to change your mind before the baby comes than not to be able to change the name after your baby's arrival.

When choosing a baby name take into consideration the last name which will accompany your baby's first name and middle name.

Example:  If your last name is Pigg, you wouldn't want to name your baby girl, Polly or Polly Anna.

Note:  No offense to anyone with that last name.  My sister actually married a man with the last name Pigg.

Why not? :  Think of the combinations of nicknames or cruel taunting names your baby will most likely have to deal with one day.

Example: Last name = Pigg       First name = Polly        Middle name = Anna

Whole name       =         Polly Anna Pigg

Taunting names from other kids:  Polly Piggy, Pee A Pigg, PPee, Piggy Adaah, Rolley Polley Piggy,  Pee Piggy,  get the idea?!

Remember what sounds so sweet and cutesie now can have the total opposite sound as your baby grows up.

Take your time and don't feel pressured to choose a name on the spot.

Most important of all just enjoy the arrival of your new little angel.

Congrats on the New Little One.
