How to Choose a Middle Name
If you’re feeling completely overwhelmed by all the names, here’s our advice on how to get the decision made.
- First things first, don’t get ahead of yourself and try to make the decision too quickly. It’s amazing how the best ideas sometimes take time to percolate and the right name will come to you after a week or so after leaving your name lists alone for a while.
- Test the name out in full – say it out loud, shout it, call it in from play and give it a stern talking to! Does it sound ‘right’?
- Write the name down in full – does it look right?
- Make sure there’s no weird acronyms, meanings or sound combinations that could be unfortunate. Teasing can be tough.
- Have you named your baby after a special person in your life? (Maybe even accidentally?) Could this cause friction from other family/friends who might feel entitled to being your baby’s namesake? (Don’t change it to please them, just be mindful!)
