Tips for Naming Your Child

If you are choosing a name because you love the color, try saying it out loud with your last name and a couple of middle-name options. Blue-themed names can swing dreamy or bold depending on what you pair them with.

A few quick checks that save you headaches later:

• Say it in a crowded-room voice. If it feels awkward to call, you will notice fast.
• Watch for rhymes with your last name (cute at first, old by kindergarten).
• Think about nicknames that might happen naturally, then decide if you like them.
• If the name comes from a language or culture you are honoring, double-check spelling and meaning before you commit.
