How to get Baby Girls Names:

* Getting to a good name is not easy, I went through it.

* Get loads of sources, books, the net, friends and build shortlists.

* look at the baby girl when she is born. Which of the names in the shortlist fit? Yup, then you’ve got it! You’ll see that some fit better than others once you have the baby girl in front of you!

* Buy a book with lots of good baby boys names

* Brainstorm to find great baby boys names.
* Ask your friends what they think of your ideas for good baby boys names.

* Don’t deviate too far from the trodden path -> your baby boy will have to live with that name for the rest of his life!

Does anyone care? John, Mary, Jessica, Noel or Sandy? Anyone? Yawn.

Why would you want an unusual baby name? Look at the show-biz stars and you have the most in unusualness. You just have to imagine that your kid is going to have to live with that name you give it for the rest of it’s life.

I’m continually amazed at trends in baby names. These are usually localized to a specific countries, and statistics on the most popular baby sites make me wonder why so many parents don’t show any craetivity in naming their new baby. And then there are those - mostly from show business - who show HUGE creativity in their naming. Seems to me that they compete for the wierdest names they can think off. Poor kids! In Arabic countries, things are much easier. You’ll get away by just calling your son Mohammed or Ashraf, or your daughter Fatima. Done.
