Baby Names

If you have children or know someone that has children, then you know what it's like to stress over naming a baby. Granted, there are hundreds of books out there that help you with the naming process. However, if your style is more of the celebrity type like Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise who picked out the name Suri, then you may want to dig a little deeper into unique baby names. If you prefer a name that's common or what's in at the time your baby is born, then those baby name books are a great help.

When my husband and I were naming our second daughter whose name is Lara, we couldn't decide on her name for months. We actually took the name at the suggestion of our friend who rambled off some names while we were at a birthday party. We dug a little deeper into our past (college years) where we all remembered hearing the name. It seems to be an East Coast name. I don't really hear the name out her in California but there is Lara Scott radio host, and Lara Flynn Boyle but other than those people I don't know any other Lara's.

The one thing you should remember about naming your baby is that they will have that name forever so you want to be sure that you won't grow tired of calling her Apple or some other unique name. Try to remember it's your child not you who really has to live with it. Although cute when they are young, babies are not little too long!
