What to Name a Baby
Deciding on a Baby Name
Deciding on a baby name is a decision based on many factors. Some people name their baby after a relative such as; a grandfather, grandmother, aunt, or uncle to carry on the family name. Others name their baby on what is popular, trendy, or common. But mostly, people choose a name for their baby based on what names they like best.
