Baby naming

Baby on the way! I couldn't be more excited! My sister is having a boy in July. Now with all the exciting hubbub that comes with impending babies, naming can be either the easiest (like you picked out your kid's name when you were 10) or the hardest thing to do in preparation.

Being able to pick your child's name is like having partial control in their identity and confidence as a child or teen. If you name then after a television show, or family member, the back story will surely ( should you choose to tell them) affect how they view themselves. Giving a child a name that is confusing to pronounce or hard to spell can become an annoyance as they are always correcting people later in life. An embarrassing name could cause teasing and in turn low self esteem or timidness. These are all things to consider.

To top that off, you also have to find something you like and that sounds good and compatible with baby's last name. This is why I say difficult. I reached out to the public for help for my sister. I asked for the best boy names out there. Here are the results. Some are good, some are awful, and some are ridiculous and funny. Enjoy!
