Naming your baby
How do you choose the perfect name for your precious baby?
The struggle is real!! It's difficult to pick out the PERFECT name. There is so much pressure on you, as parents you want their name to fit their personality, style, and help them excel in life. Sure you have heard plenty of names you like, but everyone is associated with someone you know or is overused. Maybe you decide to go with an original name....but then you worry people won't know how to say it or your child will grow up wishing they had a normal name. Or are you waiting to look into your baby's newborn eyes and hope the name just comes to you, "Awe, sweetie she looks like a Katie."
I would like to eliminate some of your stress! Let's face it, your baby is going to be defined by their personality, core values, and how they treat others- regardless of what you name them. If you do decide to get creative with their name, your baby will always have the safety net of their middle name to fall back on. Here's a great idea for those of you still deciding on a name- schedule a date night with the hubby and take a few of these baby name quizzes and compare your results! Quiz rocket is my personal favorite, as it completely confirmed the names my husband and I love, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working for everyone so I found a couple of others and shared those below!

If these sites did not help you find the perfect name, check out the Baby Name Wizard. They can help if you know the name must start with the letter "L", you want it to be Biblical, or perhaps you want an ultra-rare.
I hope you enjoy your baby naming date night! Have fun with it, and if you and your husband fall in love with a name- don't let anyone change your mind!
Good luck,

P.S.- Don't forget to make a note in the baby book about the names you almost picked. When they grow up they will look back and laugh at what almost was.
