Rules to keep in mind when naming your baby

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose the name you would like to have for yourself. Some popular boy names are Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Andrew, Anthony, Daniel, William, Brandon, Samuel, Benjamin. And some popular girl names are Emily, Emma, Hannah, Olivia, Ashley, Elizabeth, Isabell, Sarah..

  2. Step 2

    Watch out for singsong rhythms and tougue twisters. How does Sullivan Flanagan sound?

  3. Step 3

    Try to avoid name confusion if you have a big family. Think about a big family gathering, and three Margarets.

  4. Step 4

    Ask other people's opinions. Of course the baby name is totally up to you, but don't complete ignore the opinions from the relatives and friends.

  5. Step 5

    Think of a name you like to have for yourself. You are picking a name because you love it, not because of what people everybody else thinks. You want your baby name to be distinct but not weird.

  6. Step 6

    Pay attention to what is new and what is next.
