Points to Consider While Naming a Baby
Points to Consider While Naming a Baby
The following are a few reminders that should be taken into account while naming a baby:
Family Tradition
Respect your family traditions and make your baby a binding force in the family. There is nothing wrong with this as long as your parents give a good, meaningful name to your baby. In case of conflict, try combining the name you picked for your baby with the one given by his or her grandparents.
Unique Names
Your baby’s name should be able to stand out in a sea of names, but make sure this uniqueness won’t have a negative effect on your child’s life.
Names with Meaning
The name you pick should have a positive meaning because this will play a role in building your child’s personality.
Funny Names
A name should not cause your child embarrassment in her/his life. It should make your child feel good about himself/herself.
Easy Pronunciation
Sometimes parents give a unique name, but it sounds funny when spoken aloud. Make sure your baby’s name is easy to pronounce.
Easy Spellings
Try to adopt an easy spelling of the name so that there are no risks of mistakes in the future. You do not want your child to always have to get the spelling of his or her name corrected in documents.
Notorious Historical Figures
You can name your baby after historical figures who have done great deeds. Don’t name your baby after famous historical figures who have done evil to humanity. I have seen people who named their babies Changais Khan or Hitler, justifying such names as symbols of bravery.
‘Bully Test’
You will not be able to control everything that happens during your child’s playtime, so it is important that you make sure your baby’s name cannot be corrupted by his/her friends. Use the ‘bully test’ to determine whether a name could become a source of bullying. Get the help of young kids: they will tell you whether this name will be a source of mockery for your baby or not.
Overly Creative Names
Some parents try to be very creative with baby names and in their effort, the names become too creative to be accepted by our society. Make sure your baby’s name stands out while still fitting in with the general trends of your society.
