Following Legacy
If you are considering your family history and tradition while naming your kid, make sure that you do not end up with a name which is not only difficult to pronounce but doesn’t even sync with your surname.

Think Twice
Do you want your kid to become a laughing stock? Not, indeed! In order to prevent this, your baby’s name should not be funny.

The Age Factor

Real Name or Nick Name. Which is what?
To avoid regretting lifelong for a name that could have been better, it is important for you to know the difference between a nick name and a real name. Nick names are appropriate for home, but not for professional surroundings like in school or office. So, decide on a meaningful real name for your child which can work well in all environments.
Be Aware of Unisex Names

Naming your son with a feminine name or your daughter with a masculine name, for example, Harsh or Raj will create confusion for others as well as can become a source of embarrassment for your kid. Just select a name that goes well with your baby’s gender.
Don’t act in a hurry; take your own time to find the perfect name for your baby. But approve the name which is appealing, unique, has a profound meaning, easy to pronounce and sounds well phonetically. In the meanwhile, a nick name will work fine till your child goes to a pre-school.
