7 Reasons Your Baby Name (Definitely) Rocks

Hey there, soon-to-be mom! Huge congrats on the upcoming addition to your family! Get ready to dive into a world of unsolicited opinions about everything, including your baby’s name. Lucky you, right?

Choosing a name for your little one is a big deal. Maybe you’ve had your heart set on a name since childhood, convinced you’re royalty and your real name is something regal like “Clarissa.” Or perhaps you’ve spent countless hours flipping through baby name books and scrolling through websites, putting together a list that feels endless. Regardless of how you arrived at your choice or how far along you are in your pregnancy, prepare yourself for the inevitable question: “Do you have a name picked out?”

You might find yourself facing this question while you’re trying to avoid awkward chats about your baby’s feeding plan or maneuvering around someone’s coffee cup with your growing belly. And if you do choose to share the name, brace yourself for the mixed reactions. You’ll probably hear a lot of “Well… that’s nice,” or even worse, a passive-aggressive “OOooOH…” followed by a slew of questions that make you roll your eyes:

• “Is that a family name?”
• “Have you thought about any other names?”
• “Is that after a celebrity or character?”
• “Why not name them after my dog instead?”

But before you get discouraged and think about scrapping your favorite name, let’s talk about why that choice might actually be perfect. Here are seven reasons your baby name (probably) rocks:

1. You love it. That’s the most important part, isn’t it?
2. Your partner is on board. If you’ve managed to find a name you both adore, consider that a win! Don’t mess with the cosmic forces that brought you together on this one.
3. It’s unique enough. Your name hasn’t been used by every other kid in your social circle over the last decade, which is a bonus!
4. It hasn’t been claimed by pets. Your chosen name hasn’t already been taken by pets or imaginary friends of friends. Trust me, you don’t want to name your kid after a goldfish.
5. It has meaning. Whether it’s a family name (like “Frances” or “Henry”), a favorite character (think “Holden” or “Katniss”), or even a quirky reference like “Cookie,” it’s special to you.
6. It brings you joy. Picture all the cute nursery decor you’ll get with that name and envision the sweet moments of calling out their full name when they’ve been naughty. Those memories will make you smile!
7. Your kid will probably hate it anyway. No matter what you choose, they’ll find a way to blame you for ruining their life someday (hello, “Pickle Clarissa”!). So, go for what you love!

Remember, everyone has an opinion about baby names, and it’s impossible to find one that everyone will adore. So, take a deep breath, choose the name that resonates with you, and let the naysayers’ comments roll off your back. Just avoid naming your kid after a serial killer—might want to rethink that one.
