Tips for choosing baby's name

Felipe, James, Marcelo? What name to choose for someone who is not even born? How about John? Is it from? Old? or common of more? Choosing a baby's name is no easy task. Some say it is best to leave the decision to the day of birth, others argue that meaning is what should guide parents at the time of choice.

From the moment she discovers she is pregnant until the day of the baby's birth, her mother listens to countless suggestions for names, but the first step in making the right decision is to know that she and her father will give the final word. But before that, you need to pay attention to some details. First and foremost: Child welfare comes first.

The ideal name is one that sounds good, that is easily understood by people and, finally, that is simple to write, remember and speak. To find out if the name you have in mind meets these characteristics, write it several times, call it out loud, imagine it in dialogues, and match it with family names.


Fashion manager Alessandra Alves chose the name of her first daughter, Juliana, because of the combination of her grandparents' names: “My mother's name was Julia, a name I find beautiful. But my mother-in-law wanted the first granddaughter to have her mother's name, Ana. So we made a junction and it looks great.

In this case, joining the names of two people and paying tribute worked, but it is not always so. Carrying the name of a relative can inhibit a child's individuality and can cause embarrassment when the name is unusual. The salesman Olivio Alves Junior finds his name unusual and, although he has no problem with it, is only called Junior. "I like to honor my father, but I'd rather have a name of my own," he says.

Honors are not always made to the family. Don't you know or have heard of any Michael Jackson other than the pop star? Care must be taken, these names can be mocking at school. Numerology is also responsible for "strange" names. There are names with two letters pasted that make no difference to the spelling or sound of the word. One must be aware of the names Anna, Phelipe, among others.

Believing or not believing that the meaning of the name has influence on a person's personality, one needs to pay attention to this detail. Some common names, such as Carolina and Leticia, have unimaginable meanings. They mean little farmer and joy, respectively. Indirectly, this will be the meaning of your child's name. So be careful when choosing the baby's name.
