Naming children.

I have a multi syllable last name so I chose a one syllable name for my child. I wouldn't want a name like Isabella or something long like that.

I would hate my child to have a boring name like Frank or Jim.

i've always believed this, a child's name is a factor on how they're going to be like when they grow up. or the opportunities that will come their way. and lately i read about this study that so and so names have better opportunities than others. as i don't want to get into trouble with the names i have read that have low responses, names like elisabeth, meredith, charles have more opportunities that other names. i have a common name, and i would want to name my child with an unusual but beautiful name. people will readily remember them for one thing. cheers!

Most kids don't like to stand out from the crowd so I names my children with common names, I gave them special family middle names that they could choose or not to use.

the name that i WOULDN"T name my child is Manard. We actually named our son Sebastian. We happened to choose the name because it isn't a usual name in our area. Besides its a strong name and i love it just the sound of the name itself

The name I would never have given either of my girls is Ethel. My eldest is named Georgia after seeing a map of USA & seeing the state Georgia. Our youngest is called Ava, I came accross this name through predictive text after mis spelling a word. It took 7 months for us to agree on a name!! If I had any boys I would not call them Phillip or John, just because they are popular.
