The Pitfalls of Naming Baby

Bypass names that will set your child up for public humiliation. It isn't long before a classroom of fifth graders realizes that cute little Debris is actually named after garbage. And who wants their name to end up as a punchline on The Simpsons? The idea is to give your child a name of which he will be proud. And while it might be tempting to name her after you favorite flower, how is Petunia or Tulip going to feel when she's being called upon in the middle of a board meeting 20 years from now? Avoid trendy names as well. It may seem avant garde to call her Sunshine, Willow or Diamond now, but will you feel the same way in 10 years? Also try and bypass the names that can be shortened to something insulting. Consider family names that have a history among your loved ones. Also look for names that have special meaning or symbolism. Naming your child is definitely something you want to put a lot of time into. Your son or daughter will thank you later.
