5 Things you should know before choosing a baby name

© Tessa Gorgosz 5 Things You Need to Know Before Choosing a Baby Name

Together with putting a tattoo and choosing the person you want to marry, your child's name is one of the most permanent decisions you make ever take. If you take the following five things into account, then you know for sure that you have really thought about it.

1. Different languages ??

The name 'Pete' may be a very normal name in English, but in Argentina 'Pete' is a commonly used term for a blowjob. Not quite the aesthetics you want for your little happy kid.

2. Popularity

It's nice to keep up with the trends. But if that trend means that your child is likely to be one of the fourteen girls in her class named Emma, ??then it can be hard to stand out. To prevent this situation, it is useful to check lists of the most popular baby names.

3. Rhymes

To be sure that you won't regret the name later, you have to go one step further in researching. See if there are possibilities to make dirty or crazy rhymes with the name (for example Henk Spermatank). May be worth while looking at other names.

4. Full name

Charles Edmund sounds like a nice name but just search the web and you get pages after pages of results from Charles Edmund Cullen, the serial killer from Pennsylvania. Look up the full name and view all results carefully to prevent things like this.

5. Artist

Don't be inspired by the current pop culture when it comes to naming your child. For example, in a few years the artist or band may have gotten a bad image or you will no longer be interested in the music they make.
