How
your baby's
name sounds
when it's
said aloud
is one of
the most essential
things to
think about.
Is it melodious?
Harsh? Does
it go well
with your
surname? Often,
longer first
names work
better with
shorter surnames,
and vice versa.
Combining
a first name
that ends
in a vowel
with a surname
that starts
with a vowel
generally
isn't the
best choice
— the
names tend
to run together
("Eva
Anderson").
Avoid first
names that
rhyme with
your surname.
And it's probably
wise to resist
puns: A name
like "Holly
Wood"
or "Rosie
Lee"
will be fun
for about
five minutes.
Then your
poor child
will be stuck
with it for
the rest of
his or her
life.

An unusual
name has the
advantage
of making
the person
stand out
in the crowd.
Fran sometimes
wishes she
hadn't named
her second
son Matthew.
When he started
school, he
had three
other Matts
in his class.
"It was
years before
he really
understood
that his name
wasn't "Matt
B." she
says. On the
other hand,
a name no
one has heard
of and can't
pronounce
can bring
attention
a child would
rather avoid.
One-way of
striking a
balance is
to choose
a familiar
first name
if the child's
surname is
unusual, and
vice versa.
If your son's
surname will
be Smith,
you might
want to consider
something
with more
pizzazz than
Joe for his
first name.
But if his
surname is
Aytrivbsoan,
then Joe might
be preferable
to, say, Archimedes,
as a given
name.

Many parents
choose to
name their
babies after
a grandparent,
other relative,
or close friend.
This option
can provide
you with a
good pool
of names to
consider.
Take ideas
graciously.
It might be
a good idea
to not tell
anyone what
you and your
partner have
decided until
after your
baby is born
— when
it's too late
to give in
to any subtle
hints. And
never let
anyone pressure
you into a
name you don't
like. When
it comes down
to it, Great
Aunt Hepzebiah
won't have
to live with
the name,
your baby
will.

Your child's
heritage is
an essential
part of who
he/she is,
and you may
want his/her
name to reflect
that. Your
religious
preference
may steer
you towards
a certain
category of
names. Or
perhaps your
family has
a tradition
of naming
first-born
sons after
their fathers.
If you love
a name but
it doesn't
meet your
family's traditional
requirements,
consider using
it as a middle
name. |

No one is
likely to
treat your
daughter Ingrid
differently
because her
name means
"hero's
daughter,"
but the derivation
of your baby's
name is something
you may want
to think about.
After all,
if little
Stockard finds
out someday
that her name
means "from
the yard of
tree stumps,"
she may not
be pleased.

People, especially
kids, can
be cruel when
it comes to
nicknames,
so try to
anticipate
any potentially
embarrassing
ones. Of course,
just because
you don't
think of something
doesn't mean
some clever
school kid
down the line
won't —
and he'll
probably find
it utterly
hilarious.
But at least
you can rule
out the obvious
problems.
Also, be aware
of what your
child's initials
spell. Zachary
Ian Thomas
will more
than likely
get a lot
of teasing;
Zachary Edward
Thomas probably
won't. Remember,
none of these
are hard and
fast rules.
The most important
criterion
for a name
is simply
that you and
your partner
like it.
