Parents to be think about what name would be best for the child for a very long time, some of us are even pondering of names as teenagers. But, we never know what our future spouse will think of them, especially because we haven’t even met them. Names that we like now might become the most popular name or the worst name in the future.
Some parents worry that their hopeful name for their child will become too popular and they don’t
One of Randa Djabri main purposes that she explained in this article is that parents could give their child any name they want. We have freedom of speech here in the United States and that includes freedom on the choice of names, but some states have restrictions. So with that, I also believe that parents can give their child any name, but I do not think they should do it spur of the moment. I did not know that other countries had stricter rules for names. "The worldwide "name rule" should only require that each person have a name so that he/she can be clearly identified from another person." This quote made me think about the many people who have the same name such as "John Smith." I do not know one personally, but I would assume they would
I honestly do not know why, but I love the name Gianna! It is just a really majestic name to me! Gee-on-uhh! I LOVE IT! If I have a child someday, (and if it’s a girl) I wanna name her Gianna! Or maybe even Katana! :O I LOVE THAT TOO! <3 I don’t know why but I love those names. Maybe it’s just a faze… OOOH! I just thought of another name I like! Mable… maybe. Yeah, I think I’m going through a faze, because I used to love the names Payton and Riley, but I suggested the name Payton to my aunt and uncle, because they were having their second baby. And when they took the name Payton, I didn’t wanna name my kid that when I’m older, because I thought i’d be awkward. So now I like the names Katana and Gianna! I don’t know why I don’t like the name
As we grow up we receive three names in our lives; the ones we receive from our parents, the names our friends call us, and the ones we must make for ourselves. People take names as a serious matter because they tend to judge someone by their names before even getting to know them. The majority of individuals I know either truly accepts their names in its entirety or is completely unpleased with it. For me, I am someone who seems to be just right in the middle of them both.
Consequently, an easier name may be a reason that baby names such as Emma, Liam, or Ava are so popular.
Plenty of research suggests that name chosen has impact on the child’s life in the future. “For instance, donning your newborn boy with a girly sounding name could mean behavioral problems later in life. And unique baby names that only your child will have can be a hardship too.” (Jeanna Bryner) Twenge's recent research suggests parents are, in fact, choosing more unusual baby names than decades ago. Names have meaning like any other word. A child’s name could be a common or an unusual one. Names of children vary from simple to complex, which can possibly determine some of the outcomes of his life in the future. Names have a bearing on the child’s academic performance, behaviour, and profession. “A child’s name influenced how he or she was
Ever wondered why you have your name and where did it come from? I questioned my parents why did that name stood out to them. According to studies, people with uncommon names dislike their names given to them by their parents. I’m proudly part of that small percentage that likes it . People with uncommon names should be proud to receive such a unique name. People should know the significance of their name and be proud of it.
I remember my mom telling me about why she named me Kiersten all because she didn’t like the name Kirsten. My full name is Kiersten Marie Mann. Kiersten means follower of Christ. Marie means-Many believe it to mean "sea of bitterness" or "sea of sorrow.” Mann means- a surname of Germanic Origin. My mom tells me all the time that if I came out as a boy they would've named me Harry like hairy man, but good thing I came out as a girl. I never liked my last name growing up because everyone would call me a man but no one does anymore, luckily. I don’t like my first name either, I always thought it didn’t fit in.
I was always a logical thinker, especially when it came time to choose a name for my daughter. I wanted my daughter to be able to stand out in a crowd, however not be too outrageous. Therefore, I wanted her name to be unique, but not too abstract. I also did not want my daughter to have a decrepit family name. I wanted her to be her own person, not to rely on someone else. I wanted her to be independent. It was a new century, between 1999 and 2000. I knew that this marked an era of my new life. Thus on new year's eve, me and my husband sat down for a wonderful family dinner with the mindset that we were going to pick a name that night. We browsed through the name book, looking for a name that met my criteria. My daughter was named Christine.
The word common would not be a word that describes my name. Actually, the name Devanshi is probably the most rare name you’ve ever heard. Almost every teacher I’ve had has found a way to pronounce it incredibly wrong, and it fills me with embarrassment each time. The kids on the playground would call me “Devan-ishi” or “Leonardo da Vinci.” Therefore, I go by my middle name Anisha. It’s simple and common enough for people to recognize the name, but infrequent enough for me to not be confused by someone else. My dad started telling all the preschool teachers to call me by my middle name, and so I’ve been Anisha since then. I happen to really like that name, but it just makes life more complicated. Every year, I tell all my teachers
When parents first find out they’re expecting a child, they deliberate for months upon months on what to name their baby. After all, a name is realistically the first impression you put on a person. Celebrities, on the other hand, seem to have less time and energy to invest in this life implementing factor. Trust me, after reading through these weird celebrity baby names, you’ll be calling your parents and thanking them.
According to an article by Brittany Rochelle Davis, which appeared on BabyCenter.com, one in five parents regret what they named their children. She recommends ideas that might help avoid this problem. One of the ideas recommended in her article is to literally ask strangers what they think of the name, before the baby is born. It may sound silly, however appreciating how people react may help decide the issue.
I love the meaning behind a person’s name and I love uncommon names because I feel they resonate more than names you hear more frequently. I named my son Chance because it was not a name commonly used and meant, “Having good fortune”. I still had the baby name book from when I was pregnant with my son and decided to finger through it looking for ideas. I came across the page where I had listed possible girl names that had caught my attention and at the top of the list was the name Halo. That was it! I searched the pages looking for the meaning behind the name and found it means, “Having a blessed aura.” She had been my halo from the beginning, before I even knew what I had or how lucky I was, the name was so fitting! I played around with many middle names trying to fit in which one sounded best after Halo and before Rae, which was to be her second middle name. Ultimately it was my youngest sister that suggested I try using Scarlett and Halo Scarlett Rae became the name I chose for

My family felt like picking out a name for me as the first child was exciting. They had
As I am getting older, so are my family and friends. Most of them are getting engaged, married and having children. Taking that into consideration, they are doing a great deal of planning and organizing to ensure each event is even more special than the last. While that is the should be none of my concern, it has been. I have no plans to start a family right away but my reoccurring dreams have told me otherwise. There was one question burning in my mind every night I went to bed. How does one decide what to name their child? There are so many names to choose from, I could not fathom how someone can pick just one!
