Choosing a child's name, expert reveals three key factors

Choosing a name is one of the first steps in the love and care you offer your children. Therefore, devote time and thought to it, considering not only the present, but also the future of that name in your child's life.

Although it may seem like a simple task, it is actually a weighty decision, because the child will carry that name throughout his life. For this very reason, it is important that the name be chosen with care and thoughtful consideration.

Expert Lorna Marsh from "BabyCenter" shares three key tips that every parent should consider before deciding on their child's name.

1. Pay attention to how the name sounds

Think about how the name will sound not only when the child is small, but also when they grow up. Try pronouncing it with the surname – some names may be beautiful on their own, but in combination with the surname they sound strange or create an unpleasant rhythm. Also consider how the name will sound in formal and informal situations – for example, when the child is introduced at work or called to class.

2. Name popularity

According to Marsh, avoiding overly common names can be a good idea if you want your child to have a unique, non-common name. However, that doesn't mean giving up on classic names. The goal is to find a balance between originality and tradition, choosing a name that's fun, relatable, and has a strong identity.

3. Possibility for nicknames

Before deciding on a name, think about the nicknames that could come from it. Sometimes children create nicknames without any malicious intent, but they can become a source of ridicule or embarrassment for the child. Choose a name that is resistant to misinterpretation and does not allow for the creation of negative or derogatory nicknames.
