Most women have the names of their children chosen before they enter puberty. It's one of those decisions that are fantasized about right along with our wedding day plans. However, there are likely plenty of you out there who still aren't sure about what baby names will be the right choice. After all, your child will have to carry this name with them for their entire life and all of us know at least one person who had to deal with an embarrassing name throughout their childhood.
Once we make the transition from our teen years into adulthood, we've usually become comfortable with who we are, but when we're younger a name can make or break a child's sociability. For instance, a very out-going child may find a way to joke around with an uncommon name, while more shy children may gravitate to antisocial behavior because of your choice of name.
Ideas For Baby Names
In American society the most popular baby names have been Ethan, or Emily for the last two decades. While these may present a safe choice; it is becoming increasingly popular to opt for more exotic, uncommon baby names for your children.
This is where confusion enters the picture, because we want their name to be unique and endearing, rather than something they will be unmercifully teased about...
Naming a girl after a lovely flower or spice is a great idea: Rose is a little outdated for our times, but Blossom, or Jasmine are two unique and hip names. Boys tend to deal with more teasing than girls, so playing it safe with boys is always a good idea: Bradly, Micheal, Christian, etc -- are all manly names that should lead to minimal social teasing and can be shortened if desired.
Remember also, when choosing baby names that your child can later choose to use a middle name(s) in formal settings, so if you need to choose a name that your child may later detest, give them a more common middle name(s) they can use with their friends, or in their profession and they'll love you for it.
