    I just wondered how all you ladies with named babies actually picked the name. Was it a name you had loved forever? Did a new name seemingly come out of nowhere when you were pregnant? Do they really just ‘look’ like a name when they are born?

    To be honest, I encountered such a problem myself. I fussed for a long time and did not know what to name my baby. But somehow I came across this wonderful website http://www.kidnamemeaning.com , where I learned in detail how important it is to name your child correctly and how it can affect his future. You can try it too!

    Think you posted this on the wrong forum. Unless you're aiming this directly at @jankland ?

    You want a name that’s going to stand out, something no one else will have.

    Here’s a few suggestions…

    Personally, I don’t have kids yet. But if I do,I think I’d pick out 3 or 4 names for each sex. Then when the baby pops out, hopefully have an epiphany then name them.
    Congrats if you’re expecting
