			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Selecting the right name for your baby is very important since your baby is going to carry that name throughout his/her life.  Find a name that your baby is going to love, not something he/she will hate or be made fun of. Let us look into some of the important factors to consider while naming your baby.</p>
<p>Origin of the Name:<br />
The origin of a name can be a decisive factorwhile choosing the baby name. Naming your son/daughter a French name because their great grand parents originally came over from Paris will mean a lot to the whole family. Your child will always know that he/she is basically of French origin. But care must be taken while choosing such names especially if they are difficult to for the friends and neighbors to spell. That brings our next important factor.</p>
<p>The Sound of the Name:<br />
Some names can be hard to pronounce sometimes, not just for other people but for your baby as well. Spelling of the baby name can also be a cause for concern. Your kid have to learn how to spell his/her name. It won&#8217;t be a good idea to name your baby with a 25 letters long name. Think about your baby first. The name you have chosen might sound great but make sure it isn’t something that is going to be really hard to spell. But this shouldn&#8217;t stop you from finding unique baby names. You want your baby to have a unique identity. Right?</p>
<p>Name Meaning<br />
Meaning is probably the most important factor to consider while choosing a baby name. In many countries like India names are chosen solely depending upon the meaning. Consider choosing a name with a positive meaning for your child. Let your child be proud of his/her name.</p>
<p>Gender of names<br />
Everyone knows about this factor. You definitely don&#8217;t want your boy to be named after a female name. Also you must know that some names fall in both category and are suitable for baby boys as well as girls.</p>
<p>Nicknames<br />
If you chose a long name for your baby, don’t forget that your child may end up being called by a nickname. If this is something you don’t want, try picking a name that can’t be shortened. Another alternative is find a cute nickname and start using it right from the child birth. </p>
<p>Finally, you should also know that the initials of your child is also important. You don’t want an initials which means something bad or funny. You want your baby to be proud of his/her name. Good luck in finding the best name for your baby. <img src='http://www.namedolphin.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />
