What’s in a name? Well, for your special little one, it feels like everything! When you’re pregnant, you may experience intense pressure to pick the right name for the sweet life growing inside of you. You start imagining yourself calling out for them when dinner is ready or their school notebook coming home, the name you’ve given them written boldly across the top. Every corner we turn to buy baby gear, we feel overwhelmed when adding a name to the item or publishing their monogram on the tag. But what if we haven’t picked the right one yet? Especially for us moms, we feel like it should just float to us in a dream. We may even question our connection to the pregnancy if we’re struggling with names. After all, aren’t we the person in the world who knows them best?
Naming your newborn is almost like giving them their first gift. You choose their name for a reason. Perhaps it’s a family tradition, or maybe you are the first to break away from the mold of conformity. We have hopes and dreams behind the names we give our children. We pray they’ll follow the meaning of the moniker, like Ace, meaning “number one,” or Evander, means “good man.”
The times and events going on in our world often impact the trend of popular names. Right now, it seems uncommon and trendy names are all the rage! Whimsical and nature names are trending, with traditional titles being pushed aside. News and culture still have a large influence. The children of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West brought a mix of biblical back in the conversation, naming their sons Saint and Psalm. The media storm surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle put Archie, their son, and we’re sure soon Lili/Lily, at the top of many expecting mother’s lists. Whatever the reason for the name you’ve chosen, your child will spend the next years of their life unwrapping the gift of who they are and what the name they were given says about them.
