Naming a baby is important.
Those kids have to live with that name for the rest of their lives anyway.
The way things are going these days, parents are looking to give their kids very unique names – use Cardi B’s daughter’s name for example. She’s called Kulture Kiari Cephus.

Anyway, if you’re struggling to find a name for your kid, here are some pointers to help you out on your name finding journey.
1.Name-calling
When picking your child’s name, consider the fact that they are going to go to school and not all kids will be very receptive of a name that sounds weird.
2.Meaning behind the name
You don’t want to give your child a name like Shida – it holds a lot of weight that they will be troublesome children and they will have a hard time shedding the image off.
There are many baby books that can help you discover what different names mean.
3.Popularity of the name
If you want to join the bandwagon and give your child a popular name, then by all means. If you’re more into discovering what the popular baby names are to avoid giving your child the same name, it’s all still well and good.
4.Names that can be pronounced
Yes, you want to give your child a unique name but just take the pronunciation into consideration while doing that.
5.Can they use that name even when they get older?
Can you imagine calling a 6-foot man, with a belly and full-grown beards Daddy? Neither can we.
Consider the future use of your child’s name.
6.Legal documents
Is your child going to take the father’s surname or are they going to assume yours? This is purely to avoid giving your child difficulties when handling legal documents such as identification cards and birth certificates.
