What is they best ay to chose your babies name ?????
You have to somehow decide on names you both like!





My daughter's middle name is the same as her aunt


and my son's middle name is the same as his uncle (fortunately they are both nice names!) Their middle names were decided before their first names!





It might help to decide if you want the name to be shortened or not, in which case chose a name that can or can't be shortened!





Also, if its a name that could be spelt incorrectly all the time, that can be very annoying to the parents (I didn't think of it at the time, but I wish I had as both my children's names can be spelt in two different ways and it drives me mad when its spelt the wrong way!). Remember they have to live with the name all their lives so it might be annoying to them too, so thats something to bear in mind too!





Also think of a name that will be suitable for them as a baby, a toddler, a teenager and also as an adult too!





Its a very hard decision to make, good luck!!
Reply:My husband and I told each other the names we liked best and narrowed it down. I picked the first name and hubby picked the middle name. But, you both have to agree.
Reply:You could put a few names in a hat and get someone to pull one out. I think that's what we did with one of my brothers.
Reply:You'll soon come to an agreement and you wont know what to call your son until you see his face because you need to know that he'll suit the name. So you really don't have to think in advance. You'll know what to call him as soon as you see him.
Reply:we both picked names we liked and wrote them down then we agreed to settle on the first one that was picked out of a hat. we got someone else to do the picking
Reply:Have a veto list, pick out names you both like and/or go for names you can yell at your kids without getting tripped up...





i.e. Dallas Shayne vs. Wyatt Theodore
Reply:Prayer. Seriously.





Write down names you like or are considering and pray over them. Names still have meaning and you should choose something that sounds good together (flows), doesn't spell anything bad with initals, won't traumatize the child later ( Gunner with Down is bad!) and they won't forever have to explain or spell for others as well as has a meaning you like or would like to see carried out in that child's life.





Our eldest son's middle name is Alexander (great grandfather's middle name as well ) which means leader of men.......and he is! Second dd's middle name is Grace and she is very graceful and gracious - she's also the only Jessica Grace I know.
