How to Choose a Baby NameLooking for the perfect baby name? Keep the following tips in mind as you search.
Baby NicknamesShort baby names are undeniably catchy; they cut to the chase while leaving a long-lasting impression. The lovely thing about short baby names is that the only thing they have in common is the number of letters they each have, giving you the flexibility of any of your favorite definitions in a neat package. These quippy delights will give baby an edge in any introduction when the options range from Ari to Xena. Choose a short baby girl, boy, or gender-neutral name to shake things up on the playground.
Top 500 Short Baby NamesWhen a parent chooses a name for baby, it’s an undeniably hard job. Baby’s future, attitude, potential beliefs, and a number of other factors all tie into what makes the decision so difficult. But when you’ve done the hard part, it’s time to get into the cutest part! That’s giving baby a nickname, of course! Cute baby boy and girl nicknames come in the dozens and are ready to be worn with style by baby.
