Naming Your New Baby Boy
By Lesa Bolt

I was so ecstatic when I discovered I was having a baby boy and immediately starting thinking of all the fun and joy I would having raising this baby from buying blue blankets and caps to first toys of trucks and cars. I enjoyed thinking of sports that he may play such as baseball and football and soccer.

As I thought of these things I started thinking of going outside and calling his name to come in to dinner or showing a photo and telling someone my son’s name. That is when I started wondering what good boys names would be. I certainly didn’t want to call a 4 syllable name as I tried to have him come inside. It just seemed so exhausting.

I personally liked the idea of a one or two syllable name because the more I pronounced names I found the more I felt tongue tied with the long names. Some names are very masculine and sound royal, but then again I am not royalty and it seemed cuter to have a shorter name. Also I thought of his friends as they would grow up together and have play times. They may make fun of a longer name or would probably shorten it anyway. I didn’t want to give my baby boy a name only to have it changed anyway by his friends because it was too long.

Peers have a way of nicknaming their friends. Sometimes a boy gets a nickname that he is labeled with throughout his life.

Boys names do not have to be masculine or have a special meaning. It can just be a name that you particularly like or enjoy hearing the syllables as they are pronounced.

The most important thing to consider when naming your baby boy is that you like the name. Don’t let others persuade you into a name they like. Make sure you like it for all the right reasons.

Choosing Unique Baby Boy Names
By Vincent Yim

Most of the times, confusion and desperation prevail when it comes to choosing baby boys names especially if the child happens to be the first baby boy and the first grandchild of both the mother’s and father’s parents.

Choosing unique baby boy names is one of the most important decisions you can do for your baby. A well-chosen name for baby boys actually ranks second in importance apart from actually giving life and a good future to your child.

Since most parents (and grandparents as well) want their offspring to be markedly different from the rest of the crowd, the Internet becomes a very valuable resource in choosing a unique name for baby boys in order to move away from the same old name patterns that seem to be prevalent. Although this may be understandable due to playing it safe, family traditions or lack of resources in choosing unusual and unique baby boy names.

Since there are literally hundreds of thousands of websites dedicated to baby name directories, the secret then in finding and choosing modern baby names that goes well with the family name. This then requires a careful analysis and evaluation of all the options of cute baby names or unique baby boy names based on sound ease of spelling and pronunciation and nickname derivatives especially when combined with the family surname.

Make sure that your chosen name for baby boys is not only unique and unusual but has a meaning which you should know and inform him about later on. (You don’t want to name him Yipekaye simply because it’s Bruce Willis’/John McLane’s battle cry in the Die Hard series).

Baby boys names can be unique and unusual and can be almost anything as long as it has a meaning that makes your son (the owner of the name) proud. (You don’t want your son changing his cute baby name when he comes of age simply because he doesn’t like the way it sounds or because he has become the butt of jokes in school).

Since throughout our lives (and even after we die) we are identified by our first names, choosing baby boys names are very important and it is the parents’ responsibility to ensure that the cute baby name or modern name they choose is not going to result in a lifetime of embarrassment and ridicule.

Parents should use both traditional and non-traditional methods of choosing baby boy names and use the Internet as much as possible. Many online sites have unique baby boy names according to categories such as Eastern or Western, Biblical, mythological and others. Several sites even have an alphabetical listing of names gathered from the four corners of the globe. However, the most interesting site that caught my attention is the name generator – you only have to enter your first name and family name and you are presented with several options of unique baby boy names for your child!

Remember unique baby boy names give a lifetime of identity. Make your choice count wisely and your baby proud.

Today it is not so unusual to come across uncommon baby boy names, and it seems that some people put a great deal of effort into making sure that their child’s name certainly stands apart from the crowd. Parents in many cultures are now mixing and matching more traditional names with newer, less conventional ones to create one-of-a-kind names for their babies. Others look for names that are rather simple, but may not have traditionally been used as baby names. Some of the more unusual baby names currently in vogue are Sky, Rain, Apple and Ocean. There are even children proudly dubbed Wave and Planet.

Unique baby boys names have also been created by the selection of unique choices of letters to make up the name. Other unusual names originated from actual mistakes made in recording a baby’s name, such as with the name Oprah, which in the case of Ms. Winfrey was meant to be Ohpar. Other baby names are spelled in highly unusual ways in order to set them apart.

The problem with unusual spellings is that such circumstances can bring problems to a child later on, especially when they start school. For instance there is the circumstance of a child being named Ayker (and usually assumed to be pronounced “A Ker”), and the parents insisting that the child’s name be pronounced “EEkay”. If you choose to use your own individually created spelling and pronunciation rules in naming your baby, you should be prepared for the fact that many people may have trouble pronouncing or spelling your child’s name correctly.

Hollywood is often at the forefront of unique baby boys names. You will always find children who are the namesakes of movie stars with unusual names. Names also are taken from characters in movies, television and shows. A possible concern with many of these types of baby names is that it may date your child into a particular era, later falling from “fashion”, and in the future people may not understand or appreciate the reasoning behind the uncommon name. Not many children today are being christened “Farrah” for instance, but in the late 70s and early 80s it was a big hit.

Choosing from unique baby boys names to find a suitable name for your child can either be a blessing or a curse. It’s beneficial to remember that while an unusual name may certainly distinguish your child and provide them a strong sense of individuality, nonconformity may sometimes place obstacles in their path as he/she matures. So, choose thoughtfully and wisely to select the best boy name, and give him a gift he’ll be certain to treasure for a lifetime.
