What biblical name should you give your baby, and how can what you call your child impact your son's unique personality?
Having a baby means nothing but joy, no matter what gender the child is. When you pick a name for your child, you want one that has meaning and purpose.
What name should you give your baby?
If you choose a strong, masculine name or a non-gender one, a name is a title that matters. As a parent, you may be molding your child's personality without realizing it.
Your newborn baby boy will be making his appearance in the world soon and one of the most important things you should think about when preparing for his arrival is his name. In fact, research on given names reveals a social impact on personality.
We all love to play with the idea of naming our children even when we were children ourselves.
Choosing a strong baby name often starts when you were a child.
We planned with our ex-boyfriends about what we will name our babies in the future and we even talk about naming them along with our friends and peers while we were younger.
Baby boys are a God’s gift even though all of the grossness that might come with them such as playing around with dirt or eating food off the floor we still continue to love every bit of it.
You want a baby name that emulates your values.
Our little boys teach us how to embrace the good, the bad and the gross things in life.
With all of these feelings, we have when it relates to having a little boy we often forget that the most important thing when preparing to have a baby is giving them a name that someday they will be proud of.
You already sense your baby's character, and you want a name that will respect his personality.
Now that the time has come and you feel your little guy kicking around, how do you decide the perfect name to give him?
You have a strong relationship with your baby from the start. From morning sickness to heartburn mothers feel these symptoms day to day when preparing to have a baby.
You may have nicknames for your child that mirror your experience right now, and that can influence your future decision.
Why? Becoming pregnant can either be planned or unplanned but either way when a bundle of joy is on the way.
We decided to keep going through with the pregnancy we often forget that naming your child is just as important as eating healthy for it while he is in the womb.
Should you make a list of names or ask your friends and family on what to call your baby?
Naming a child can be confusing. Try not to spend too much of your time thinking about names that it will consume you or stress you out.
However, it is a good thing to think about names that you will love for the rest of your life because the name of your child will affect both of your lives in the long run.
Your baby will love whatever name you choose to give him.
The only thing that matters is what you think as the baby boy parent but you must remember that your child will be the future and will have to attend school.
Your child's name will be used to apply to jobs and maybe even become president one day and you want to make sure that your baby boy will be proud of the name that was given to him at birth.
If you get stuck and can’t decide on a name or struggle on where to find good powerful names there is this one book that can help you in all times of struggles and it is called the Bible.
