Thanks for the suggestion to choose a name that looks and sounds good when printed and signed in cursive. My husband and I recently found out that we’re expecting a baby boy in October. I’ve always had a small list of girl names I love, but I’ve been having a difficult time thinking of boy names. As we look at names, I’ll definitely keep your suggestions in mind, especially this one about the signature. Hopefully we can find a great name that is beautiful when shouted, whispered, signed, etc.!

Nice article….I like how you talked about considering nicknames that could be given to your child. The name you give could give really positive outcomes and meaning for baby names, it’s best to choose one that can be shortened and still sound really good. I have some ideas in my mind for upcoming baby but want to select again according to this given tip.

What has always helped me is visualizing using the name throughout the child’s life. I picture myself yelling it at a park saying it’s time to go. I picture someone introducing my child as their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife so-and-so. I picture them as an adult shaking someone’s hand and saying their full name. If it passes those tests, I figure it’s a good one!
