Tips for Picking a Baby Name

Picking a baby name got you pulling your hair out? Check out some of these tips to help ease the process:

Manage your time during this process. You don't want to rush the process of picking out a baby name, but you also don't want to spend weeks running around in circles with the same names. If you've spent ages deliberating the same names, discard them and move on to other ones. Don't wait until late in your third trimester to start planning your child's name.

Remember the nicknames. Cute nicknames are adorable for a new baby or toddler, but can be a source of embarrassment for a teenager or adult. Consider how well the nicknames associated with a name you like will carry your child through all the different stages of their lives.

Classic names are good, but avoid outdated ones. Some names just don't fit into our modern world. Names like Ebenezer are so outdated that they may leave your child more vulnerable to bullying. If you're dead-set on an outdated name, consider using it as a middle name or changing it up a bit to make it more modern.

Conclusion

Did you find some names you love? We sure hope so! If not, then definitely check out our other name lists. We have plenty for you to look through. Congratulations on your coming baby girl!
