Things to avoid when choosing a name for your baby boy
To make choosing your baby boy’s name even easier, here is a list of things to avoid when deciding on a name:
- First and last names that rhyme, for example Casey Tracy.
- First names that end in a vowel followed by a last name that begins with a vowel, for example Elena Avery. These names tend to run together when said aloud.
- Pun names, such as Bud Light or Justin Case, should always be avoided.
- Names that produce embarrassing initials, such as Peter Ian Gibson or Timothy Isaac Thomas.
- Names that are too famous, such as Michael Jackson or George Washington.
- Using nicknames or childish names as first names. If you want to call your son Mikey, name him Michael. He won’t be a baby forever and he might not appreciate the cutesy name Mikey when he is an adult.
- Names that mean something derogatory in another language. For example, “Cerdo” means “pig” in Spanish.
Happy searching!
