How Do You Choose A Baby Name?

I Have Come Up With A Few But None Of Them Stick...But I Think I Used To Love Them But Now That I Am Pregnant Its Different. I Like Leena And Serene The Most Just Because I Remember Them When People Ask...Should That Be The Name I Pick?

How Do You Choose A Baby Name?
I have the same problem as you. We have picked a boys name but cant decide on a girls name. I always remember one, but not the other one. I think that the reason that this is happening to me, is because I have a feeling that the baby is a girl, and I want her to have the perfect name. Not any name will do, but for the boy name it was easy because I dont think its a boy. I think that whatever you name your baby will be perfect. My favorite is Hannah, but my husband doesnt like it. I also like Savannah and Dakota.
Reply:Look back in your ancestory at names way back and also look at middle names. Try the dads side ancestory also.You will be amased at the unique names available.
Reply:I look in books.... I go by feelings about that name.... and then? after baby starts getting active, I do the oddest thing and ask the baby if he or she would like that name.. and try it out the rest of the pregnancy by using it when I am tlaking to the belly/baby... making sure I rub belly/baby while using it.... I also pick one or two names picked out just in case when baby is born he/she does not look like his/her name fits?


with my first child? I had picked her name long before I was grown.. I was ten when I thought I made up the name.. never even heard the name till I was naming her.... and then it was rare... now? lol.. everyone seems to have her name... go figure...


and it is always a team effort... my ex and I did it for our three.. my husband and I did it for our three.... we each choose a name and arrange them so they sound right... if one of us do not like the name picked he or I has to go back to the drawing board to pick another.... until both of us are happy... sigh.. then it run past each other child in the house for their input, feelings... then the baby..... okay... we have an odd system.... but, makes everyone feel they contributed and were a part of it all?


names are tough to choose... all I can say? if you remember those two names? maybe it is what the baby should be named.... they are both beautiful....
Reply:something that gives you a positive image of your child. Maybe stick a middle name that has a family member connected to it. I really like Serene...beautiful!
