Choosing the Perfect Name for Baby
Posted by in Babies on September 27th, 2009
Are you looking for the perfect baby name to your new baby? Well, if you are looking for original names consider avoiding these ten names for boys: Jacob, Michael, Ethan, Joshua, Daniel, Christopher, Anthony, William, Matthew and Andrew. And these ten names for girls: Isabella, Emma, Ava, Madison, Sophia, Olivia, Abigail, Hannah, and Elizabeth. According to social security records these are the top ten most popular baby names for boys and girls.
The most popular boy’s names seem to circulate around traditional names denoting strength and courage. Five of the most popular boy’s names are Biblical heroes. It could be that parents who choose these names are considering the bravery of Daniel in the story of his time spent in the lion’s den.
The meaning of the name chosen still carries much weight in today’s society. We care what we are implying when we call our child by their name. Michael the second most popular name means: “Who resembles God.” Matthew means “Gift of God.” Some parents literally choose this name based on the meaning of the name. I once knew a couple that had a very difficult time getting pregnant and even experienced a miscarriage during their first pregnancy. This couple researched meanings of names and chose the name Matthew because this name is means gift of God. Jacob has a very interesting meaning that has not thwarted parents from using this name, in fact it is the number one boy’s name, and it is said to mean: swindler and to supersede by treachery or force.
The most popular girl’s names today seem to be a reminder of the 1800s. They are the traditional names found in most romance novels. In fact Emma is directly from a Jane Austen romance novel. Only a few of these names are Biblical names and none are heroes. Instead they are steadfast women who believed for a miracle child and received their reward. Isabella means God’s promise and my oath. Sophia means wisdom.
When choosing a child’s name one of the best choices the parents can make is a name that both parents agree on. If the name that you both agree on is the least popular it may well be the most popular when the child is in kindergarten with three other children with the same name in his class. If the name is the most popular you can pretty much guarantee that your child will be known at school at Michael M or Andy B.
