Selecting The Right
Baby Name Can Be Hard
This article has tips on what to think
about when selecting your baby name.
Hey lets
face it it’s your child and you have the right to name
the new infant whatever your heart desires. Do not be
influenced by in-laws or pestering family members. In
this article I will give you a few tips on what you can
do when deciding your newborns name.
First thing is
first is to take your time. Don’t rush into it that is
the worst thing you can possibly do when narrowing down
a baby name. Never settle on a name that you are not 100
percent positive on. It can and will last a lifetime!
Believe it or not you do not need a baby name before
birth. Some parents actually have waited almost 3 weeks
after birth before deciding on that perfect child name.
The next tip I recommend is to carefully look at the
spelling of the name. One thing me and my husband
avoided was naming our child with the same letter of our
last name. This can end up being a tongue twister and
cause some teasing too. There are a few exceptions to
this rule, but you may just want to stay clear of naming
your child with the same letter as your last name.
This next tip is probably fifty/fifty on the do we
really care list. Do you care about the actual meaning
of your soon to be baby’s name? Some parents don’t
really care or even research the meaning of the name.
For example, we narrowed down our male name to Corey
which means humorous (just like his dad). If you have
meaning in mind and need some help with the name you can

My final tip is to recite your choices out loud. Yeah it
may sound a little whacky but it works! Say the infant
name and even include the middle name (whole other can
of worms) and listen to the flow. Believe me one of your
choices will click and stay with you. Some of the names
that me and my husband liked on paper sounded horrible
when saying them out loud. I hope these tips help you
select the right baby name. One more thing, have fun
with it!

The 20th Century had
just started and baby boy names and baby girl names
reflected the hopes and dreams for a prosperous era. The
romance of the 1890s lingered on and new parents felt
upbeat about the future.
Baby names often take on
the flavor of the times. In 1904, the musicals by George
M. Cohan had everyone singing “I’m a Yankee Doodle Boy,”
and “Give My Regards to Broadway.” “Mamzelle Champagne”
was pulling in the crowds at the Madison Square Theater
on Broadway. The mood was light-hearted, and may have
been responsible for the musical-sounding names of the
times such as Bertha, Rose, Marie, and Harry.
From 1900 to 1909 there was a mood of daring in the air
and unrest around the world. There were stirrings of
revolution in Russia and full-blown revolution in
Panama. The Victorian era came to an end in 1901 with
the death of Queen Victoria, one of the last great
monarchs.
But good times were here as well. In
1903 the Wright brothers made their first successful
flight. In 1904, construction started on the Panama
Canal. And in 1905, Albert Einstein and renowned
physicist and mathematician Mileva Maric, set the world
on fire with the Theory of Relativity.
The 10
top baby boy names from 1900 to 1909, in order of
popularity, were John, William, James, George, Robert,
Joseph, Frank, Edward, and Thomas. They were strong
names and all were names of saints.
John (Hebrew)
means “honorable;” William (English) means “staunch
protector;” James (English) means “steadfast;” George
(Greek) means “loving the land;” Charles (German) means
“well-loved;” Robert (English) means “brilliant;” Joseph
(Hebrew) means “supported by God;” Frank (short for
Francis) comes from the Latin and means “free spirit;”
Edward (Anglo-Saxon) means “defender;” and Thomas
(Aramaic) means “twin.”
As for the top baby girl
names of 1900 to 1909, they, too, were powerful yet
lyrical names that would have been found in most of the
songs of the day. Just saying these beautiful names
makes your heart sing. They are the names of saints,
empresses, queens, painters and poets.
These
names, in order of their popularity, are Mary, Helen,
Margaret, Anna, Ruth, Elizabeth, Dorothy, Marie,
Florence, and Mildred.
Mary (Hebrew) means
“spiritual;” Helen (Greek) means “beautiful;” Margaret
(Greek) means “treasured pearl;” Anna (Greek-Latin form
of “Hannah”) means “loving;” Ruth (Hebrew) means “loyal
friend;” Elizabeth (Hebrew) means “beauty;” Dorothy
(Greek) means “gift of God;” Marie (French) means
“spiritual;” Florence (Latin) means “flowering blossom;”
and Mildred (Old English) means “gentle.”
The
first decade of the 20th Century ended the way it
started – on a high note. The era of the motor car was
just around the corner. People had jobs and they had
food on the table. The future looked bright.
The
wonderful baby boy names continued into the next decade
unchanged. The musical baby girl names even added a few
new names in the 1910s.
