CHOOSING THE PERFECT NAME FOR YOUR CHILD

Parents adopt various "rules" when it comes to naming babies. The more practical ones include giving your child a name that...

• is easy to pronounce in most languages
• others can easily spell
• is short and singular (for someone with long surnames)
• is not owned by an infamouse character
• hasn't already been "coveted" by a relative
• has a meaning you like
• goes well phonetically with your surname
• doesn't form monikers or initials that might be made fun of (like P.O.O or R.I.P.)
