BABY NAMES -

BABY NAMES ARE
FUN TO CHOOSE
IF YOU LOVE NEW
BABIES LIKE WE DO

Here are 10 ways that you can help
mom and dad name the new baby.

1.   Baby names need to go nicely with the sound of your last name. Also, pick a first
       name and a middle name that go together well. (So maybe not something
       like Erasmus Beelzebub Smith !)
2.   When your family finds a name you all like, look at the initials to be sure that
       you don't give the new baby a name with initials that will make people laugh.
       (So maybe not Pamela Iris Green, which equals P.I.G. !)
3.   You might not want a baby name that is so unusual that the other kids will
       make fun of your little brother or sister as he or she grows up. (So maybe not
       Rosebud or Molasses !) 
4.   You also might not want a baby name that is so trendy that it will  sound
       funny by the time the baby is ten years old. (So maybe not Sunshine !)
5.   You probably shouldn't pick a name that's really cute for an adorable little
       baby but will sound silly when the baby grows up. (So maybe not Dimples !)
6.   Avoid baby names that might produce insulting nicknames when people
       shorten them. (So maybe not Smellonius, or Smelly for short !)
7.   You and your family might not want a name that is so hard to spell or to
       pronounce that people will always get it wrong and your poor little brother or
       sister will have to go through life correcting people. (So maybe not something
       like Incandescence, or is it Incandessints ? ) 
8.   You and your family might want to pick baby names in honor of favorite relatives
       or ancestors, or special names that show your family's ethnic roots. You might
       even find a special name from a book or movie that you love. (Like Harry ?)
9.   You might want to look through books of baby names and pick one that has a
       special meaning that you like - maybe something that means "sweet" or "kind"
       or "brave." (So maybe not "Wimp" !) 
10. You might want to think about names that will go nicely with your name and
       your other brothers' and sisters' names, so that if mom or dad are calling you
       all for dinner or signing a birthday card to grandma it won't sound too crazy.
       (So maybe not "Happy Birthday, Grandma ! Love, Joey, Cindy and Dweevo !")

A note to mom and dad: Help your children get excited about and maintain a positive
attitude towards the arrival of a new baby by getting them involved in every step of
the preparations, like choosing baby names. Then, after the baby comes, don't forget
to set aside some special time every day that's just for you and each of your other
children so that they don't need to compete with the baby for your attention. See our
PARENT PAGES for more tips.
