The wife and I are struggling for names and we’re running out of time. No idea what we’re having. Throw some names out there…

    Have we as a society not yet learned our lesson to not let the internet name things?

    Because if we haven’t, my submission for your consideration is Baby McBabyface.

    If a boy? Go simple, pick a name like Richard/Robert, that way they have a shortened name to pick from (Rob, Bob/ Rick, Dick) or Leslie

    Girl? Pick something crunchy with some history to it, Peony or Persephone or Viola Or Leslie

    Okay, real suggestions.

    Think about personal values that you and your wife hold dear. Something that you both know will never change, something you want to teach your child as they grow older. Something precious.

    Think about a hero–real or fictional, famous or personal–who embodies those qualities. Name your kid after that person.

    So, my culture places a lot of emphasis on names because we believe that names effect the destiny of the named. So we usually create names that we think will bless our children in their future. Examples: Legacy, Radiance, Kiah (Strength), ect. If the name that has a good meaning does not sound like a name then we often make it a secret name and use a nickname based on it for their legal name. Example; if secret name is Malik (Monarch) legal name is Mal.
