Name a Baby - Decide whether you lean toward unusual names or more traditional ones.
Collect names from both partners' family trees. Look for names of people who have played a meaningful role in either of your lives or who have names you both like.
Name a Baby
Write down your favorite artists and writers; favorite characters from novels, movies or plays; and figures from history or mythology.
Think about cities and countries significant to you and your partner - geographically inspired names have become popular in recent years.
Think about your heritage. Do you want to recognize a particular nationality or ethnic background in your baby's name? Could you use other elements in your family's history, such as place names?
Whether you decide to go with a traditional name or with a more unusual one, make sure the name will fit your baby throughout life. - by eHow
