Tips for Picking a Baby Name

Whew, that was a lot of names. Now, you might be wondering how you're ever going to settle on just one. Take a look at some of the tips we've got!

Say the name out loud. Say the baby girl name you've chosen out loud to hear how it sounds when spoken. Does it go well with your last name? Baby girl names that have different numbers of syllables between the first and last name create a pleasing rhythm when the names are spoken together. If the name sounds awkward, that's a clear sign to pick something else.

Think about your baby's initials. How will your baby's initials look with the first and middle name you've chosen? Sometimes, initials can spell words we would rather our baby not be associated with. It's important to double check this before settling on a certain combination of names for your child! You can always change the first letter of one of the names, or flip the first and middle names, to fix this issue.

Consult your partner. It's important to keep your partner involved in the name selection process, assuming they'll be an active part of the baby's life. Both you and your partner will need to agree on your baby's name, so make sure you keep them in the loop throughout the process. If they suggest a name to you that you don't like, make sure you voice that.
