Baby's Names

Baby's Names - Its usually about half way through the pregnancy that parents start to seriously consider baby's names. Often there can be disagreements between parents - my husband and I have agreed up to now. We are planning our third child and we already are disagreeing before I am pregnant!

Some parents like the old fashioned names (we do), others prefer the unusual names, some go for the most popular names at that time and sometimes baby's names are given after a relative, Grandparent or Uncle or Aunt etc.

The 10 most popular baby's names of 2008 were are follows:

BOYS: 1)William, 2)Jack, 3)Joshua, 4)Lachlan, 5)Thomas, 6)Cooper,
7)James, 8)Oliver, 9)Riley, 10)Ethan
GIRLS: 1)Mia, 2)Chloe, 3)Olivia, 4)Isabella, 5)Emily, 6)Charlotte, 7)Ella, 8)Sienna, 9)Ava, 10)Sophie

Some parents like to go with unusual or unique baby's names. There are certainly a great deal of these to choose from. A thing that strikes me about these sort of baby's names is that the child will always have to spell out their name. What I mean is, if they are meeting someone for the first time and introducing themself and they have a name that is not often used then there is a good chance that they will have to repeat it. If they are saying their name over the phone and it is a name that is unique then they are always going to have to spell it out. Here are just a handful of the unique baby's names out there:

BOYS: Zarson, Rockett, Emmoch, Slavman, Harbane
GIRLS: Lululu, Wishyonce, Rohannie, Luna-Moon, Tatanka

The old fashioned baby's names that have always been around and continue to still be popular choices include names such as:

BOYS: Harry, Jack, Sam, Joseph, William
GIRLS: Grace, Rose, Gail, Anna, Lilian
