Choosing Your Babies Name

How your baby's name sounds when it's said aloud is one of the most essential things to think about. Is it melodious? Harsh? Does it go well with your surname? Often, longer first names work better with shorter surnames, and vice versa. Combining a first name that ends in a vowel with a surname that starts with a vowel generally isn't the best choice -- the names tend to run together ("Eva Anderson"). Avoid first names that rhyme with your surname. And it's probably wise to resist puns: A name like "Holly Wood" or "Rosie Lee" will be fun for about five minutes. Then your poor child will be stuck with it for the rest of his or her life.
