Baby Name Tips

Thank you for your submission. It will be processed shortly. Try out our tips and suggestions pages below for more ideas on how to pick the perfect baby name!

1 Consider that the name you pick will stay with your baby for life. Consider how the name sounds when it is applied to an adult aswell as a baby.
2 Avoid names which could cause your child to be picked on at school e.g. try to avoid names for boys which could also be girls names - Chris, Robin.
3 Consider the meaning of a name. It is not very important but it can be a nice reason for picking a certain name.
4 Try syaing the name out loud before you pick it. Do this over a couple of days to allow you to get used to it.
5 Consider how the name will fit with your surname. Do not use a name with the same ending sound as the beginning sound of your surname.
6 Consider names in your family tree. It can be a good way to keep a family name going and to remember a family member. If the family member is still alive this can cause confusion e.g. calling a boy after its father can cause confusion in later life.
7 Avoid stereotypes. Avoid names associated with unwanted personality traits.
8 Finally, if you have broken all of the tips above and you have found a name which you like, then use it. You have to make the decision and it is you who has to be happy with the new name.
