Family and Friends

We advise you to accept ideas graciously from relatives, but don't tell anyone what you and your partner have decided until after your baby is born. When you have found a name for your baby, you may want to discuss it with your friends and relatives. However you can always expect to get mixed reviews. Some people like to get feedback from others, but bear in mind that there will always be someone who totally opposes your choice. This can make finding a name very frustrating.  Resist announcing your choices until after your baby is born to avoid that situation, when it's too late to give in to any pressure to change the name.

Many parents choose to name their babies after a grandparent, other relative, or close friend. This option can provide you with a good pool of names to consider. Never let anyone pressure you into a name you don't like. When it comes down to it, they won't have to live with the name, you and your  baby will.

The middle name

The middle baby name can be used to honour a family member when it is not desirable to be used as a first name. It can be a way to settle the name selection between parents. If needed to keep the family happy, the child can be given two middle names.
Some families like to use the middle name for naming the child after the mother or father. The child has their own first name, yet has mom's or dad's name as the middle name. You can also use the mother's maiden name as the middle name or other family member's last name as the middle name.
