Tips For Picking a Baby's Name

The months spent waiting for the arrival of the new addition to the family is full of anticipation and excitement. Many decisions will be made during this time. What color should I paint the nursery? What about taking medications during childbirth? Will I breast or bottle-feed? Although these are all important decisions that will need to be made, one of the biggest decisions that the parents face is naming the baby. Your baby’s name is something that they will stay with them for their entire lives and the decision needs to be a thoughtful one. The following are several tips that can help to guide you through this name picking process.

Do not pick a name your partner doesn't like. Just because a name gives you the warm fuzzies, it may conjure up bad memories for your partner. Be respectful of that and move on to another option.
