How Do You Choose Baby Names Using Mother & Father Names?
Your child’s name will be what people remember them by, so choose carefully. A child’s name should flow well with their last name. Some parents choose to use their own names when naming a child. The easiest option is to name the child the exact same name as one of the parents. Other options include a combination of names or to create a name from the parents’ names. Step 1 Write down the names of the parents. Step 2 Write down all the forms of each name, male and female. For example, if the mother’s name is Patricia, list Patrick. Step 3 Write down various combination of names. Try out different spellings for a unique twist. Think about names that will suit the child throughout their life. Pick a practical spelling. Step 4 Say the name out loud several times. Have others say it. Listening to it helps you decide if you like it. Make sure it doesn’t sound like a joke or innuendo.
