I choose my child's name by searching names, then sorting out some of the nice ones and then selecting one which I thought was great. How did u choose?

Hello, mapaav! there is little relevance of name with the character,so you select some names and pick up the unique one that sounds well to the ears.we the indians select names from among the divine characters of our epics and history.thank you very much.good day.

Well with us, it was difficult from the start. We both had totally different ideas on names. We eventually went through a baby names book and marked off all the ones that we both couldn't agree on. My partner suggested more of the common names used today while I preferred the older European names stemming from our ancestry. In the end we finally decided on the name "Connor", which I liked because it is a Irish name and part of my ancestry is Irish, and my partner liked it because it is a very commonly known name. Hence came `Connor John Tyson' :)

I chose our soon to be daughters name by first lookin at the meanings of names. Then I tried to find a combination of mine and my fiances name in some way. His name is Justin and my middle name is lynn. So i found Jamilyn which means calming, and peaceful. So that is what we have decided to name her. For her middle name i chose Faith. No one in my family or his has that middle name so it just seemed to fit. Jamilyn Faith has a nice flow to it.

I chose my son's name halfway through my pregnancy. My ex husband and I wrote down names we liked on a piece of paper and everytime we though of another one we'd also write it down. Before my son was born we sat down and worked out which names we liked and that was how my son's name came to be. The best part is non of the family has his first name that I can think of.

what the meaning of name:) Well, my wife and I had a hard time agreeing on boys' names for some reason, and darryl Nathaniel was seriously the only one we both liked. So, when our son was 1 days old we finally named him Darryl nathaniel. Darryl like warior Right now my wife NOT pregnant again so maybe thinking of names not so important. If it's another boy we are using my name...

I chose my daughter's first name just by thinking randomly my favorite names for a girl. Then I chose the second name for my daughter after her grandma, my mom, which sadly she never met because she has gone on the year before my daughter was conceived. I loved my mom dearly and wanted to name my child after her, only with different spelling.
