Naming a Baby: The Unexpected Challenges
You really start to realize just how many folks you’re not a fan of when you become a parent. Seriously, who knew naming a baby could spark such strong feelings? It’s like opening a can of worms. Suddenly, every single name you’ve ever liked is up for debate, and everyone has an opinion—friends, family, even strangers.
Take, for instance, my buddy Clara. She thought she had the perfect name picked out until her aunt chimed in with a horror story about a kid she knew in school with that exact name. It’s enough to make anyone second-guess their choices! And let’s not even get started on the unique spellings. If you think you’re being creative, just remember: your kid will have to spell it out for everyone for the rest of their life.
