7 rules for choosing the right name

Here's how to choose the right name in 7 steps.

  1. Start by deciding if you want to follow the tradition opting for a more classic and traditional name, or if you want to make a bolder choice following fashion. Keep in mind that a classic name doesn't have to be boring, you can also go fishing in the past by choosing rare names with a vintage charm.
  2. Look at the family tree of the family going backwards: you may find that a relative of yours bore a really interesting name!
  3. Make a list of possible names: the mother can list her 20 favorite names and the father will do the same, it is possible that the comparison between the two lists will result in a common name
  4. Consult the book of names or online guides that offer dozens of names with meanings and curiosities
  5. Get inspired by literature, nature or art to choose a name that also has a nice meaning
  6. The perfect name it should stand the test of time. So let's ask ourselves. Could this name be ridiculous in 10 years? Could he be fooled? Did you know that a study conducted by Marquette University found that people with easy-to-pronounce, classic-flavored names are more likely to be hired at large companies?
  7. Beware of possible diminutives: it is common practice, both at home and at school, to abbreviate the name with a diminutive or a term of endearment.
