Naming Your Baby

Your baby's name should evoke happiness and pleasant feelings. It should reflect qualities and traits that you hope your child will possess. Family names are great and give your baby a rich heritage, but if you don't like the name, it probably won't feel right, even if it pleases relatives. A unique name may make your child stand out and feel extra special. But, if it's too unusual, it could cause problems. It's also very important that your child has a name with clear gender identification. And finally, it's always tempting to pick today's most popular name, but will it be popular 10 or 20 years from now? And, do you really want your first-grader with the same name as four others in the same class?

We know this is not an easy decision, so we've developed a few "babynamer" tools to help. You can review lists of popular and unique names, search our databases for the origins and meanings of names and search by the name's first letter. These databases are updated every day and we are always looking for more handy tools to help you make the best decision.

 Good Luck and Congratulations!
