Baby Naming Guide
Images,
feelings, and meanings. That's what a person's
name can instantly transmit to others. Even more
importantly a name helps shape a person's self-image.
On this page the staff of the Baby Place presents
ten categories of baby names. Use these to help narrow
your name search based on the "images, feelings and
meanings" you'd
like your babies name to project. |
 |
Of
course, traditional family names are very popular and
often a new arrival is named after a favorite uncle or
aunt, Godparent or grandparent, or mom or dad. But if
you are looking for a new idea, try these.
