One of your first tasks as a parent will be to choose a name for your baby. As you consider all the baby names, remember you are creating your child's future already! It is said that each baby name meaning has a hidden energy behind it. This energy will greatly influence your baby's destiny. There are thousands of baby names. Here are a few tips on how to choose the perfect baby name.

• The name should go nicely with the sound of your last name
• You should pick a first name and middle name that goes together well
• Look at the initials of the first, middle, and last name you are thinking about. Make sure they do not spell out something funny like F.A.T. (kids are mean)
• It is smart to stay away from very trendy or unique baby names. They may not be so cute 10 years from now!
• Be sure the name will sound good as a baby name and adult name. Remember, they do grow up!
• Avoid names that can be turned into hurtful nicknames. ( Remember, kids are mean!)
• Look up the meanings of the baby names you like. A good strong meaning could mean a good strong adult!
• You may not want to choose a name that is so hard to spell or pronounce. Otherwise, people will always get it wrong
• Still having a hard time deciding? Look back at your Family Tree. You may find the perfect name!
• If you have other children, be sure the new baby name goes well with your other children's names

If you still can not decide on a name, wait for their arrival. Sometimes it just comes to you the minute you meet your new baby girl or boy!
