WHAT TO CONSIDER
When Choosing a Baby Boy Name...
There are so many things to factor in when deciding on a name. To start, you want to make sure you and your partner both like it and that it doesn’t remind either of you of someone you don’t like. It’s also helpful to coordinate the first name with the last name, along with any middle name(s) being considered.
Beyond that, it’s a good idea to choose a baby boy name that matches your family identity and holds some sense of meaning or personal appeal. We suggest you spend some time listening to how your potential baby boy name syllables sound together, asking around to see how hard the name is to pronounce, and thinking about what the initials spell out, if anything. Some couples narrow things down to a couple of favorites in advance of the birth, then see which of the names best suits their baby after he is born. In recent times, some parents are avoiding baby boy names altogether, preferring to select gender-neutral names. Ultimately, choosing a name is a personal decision that is up to you and your partner.
