Naming Your Little One

When I got pregnant with by bean, I immediately started searching for names. I avoided any names that were popular, because I didn’t want my bean to be one of many little Emmas that would attend her school.

My name was popular at the time of my birth and I always had two or three girls with the same name in my class and I hated it. I guess there are benefits of having a popular name – you don’t have to spell it to the person when ordering coffee at starbucks. However that wasn’t enough for me to name my bean from the popular name list.

Social Security Administration has posted popular names of 2008. Use those names if you wish or avoid it like the plague.

How did you name your baby? From your favorite movie, book, family member or just made up?

We’ve been struggling to find a good name for our baby bean. She’s on her way and I would really like to have a name picked out. I found some resources on the net for names heres a list of ones I liked. I also purchased a book and it was fun to get my friends drunk while we discussed names. Unfortunately the book wasn’t a success.

There are a ton of others. Usually they focus on particular nationalities. For instance babynamesguide has Scandinavian names, whereas the others do not. It’s all about what you like. Check them out and let us know what you are naming your child and where you are getting your names from.
