Parents are responsible for naming your baby. Psychologists find that if people are happy with their names, they’ll be happy with themselves. Time spent considering the most fitting and pleasant name for your baby is time well spent.

    1. Consider your last name when selecting a given name for your baby. The name should combine, visually and vocally, with your family name. A short first name with a short last name may sound less agreeable to the ear. If you have a short surname such as Smith, Brown, or Hill, perhaps you’d choose a longer first name. Thus, John Westermore and Meredith Brown.

2. Select a first name which is different from your surname. It is best not to use names which run together when spoken, as in Ralph Forbes or Sheri Yeets. If these names are spoken rapidly, the distinctive sounds of the separate names disappear.

3. Watch out for the spelling. An unusual change in the spelling of a name may cause some trouble for your child, as in Jyssica spelled with a “y” instead of an “e”.

4. Take care before giving your child a unisex name. There is a growing trend toward giving children names like Alex, Toby, Page, Kelly, and Jamie, names that can be used by girls or boys. In general, giving a girl a unisex name may not cause a problem, but giving a boy such a name may. A boy named Shirley or Carroll is likely to suffer teasing.

To sum up, the best name for your baby is one that you love and feel your child will be happy with. A well-chosen name is one of the most important gifts you give your baby.
