For instance I consider:<br /><br />1. The meaning. I love the name Mary and variations but can't get past "bitter".<br />2. I do the Google search. Not only for naked people but for things I wouldn't mind to be associated with the child.<br />3. Must have meaning! This is especially important because I have a meaningless name while my brother is named after my uncle. The name Cordelia, I think, would be perfect for honoring my brother Dylan because of the similar meanings.<br />5. I must like it for at least a year. I crush on names often (Bonnie and Augustin currently!) but they don't always last.<br />6. Lastly, it must be easy to pronounce in a variety of languages because of the global community we have today.Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12061808874947661755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368164246199670313.post-68736831048774653532012-03-05T14:42:05.544-08:002012-03-05T14:42:05.544-08:00How interesting.

I must like the nickname as much as I like the full name. <br />2. It must have good connotations, or at least be connected to something that I like, admire or am interested in.<br />3. Nothing that is in the top 200. It would be even better if it didn't make the top 1000. <br />4. If it's already in the family, then it's out.<br />5. Any serious contender would have to have a reason behind it beyond 'I chose it because I liked it'.<br />6. Nothing cutesy.Zeffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545315539184390669noreply@blogger.com
