What makes a great baby name?
Six factors parents consider most when choosing a name.
Choose a name whose meaning resonates with your values. Meanings like 'strength', 'wisdom', and 'grace' are beloved across many cultures.
Say the name aloud with your surname. A good name flows naturally, avoids awkward repetition of sounds, and feels pleasant to call out in a playground.
Test how the first name pairs with your family name for length and rhythm. Say the full name aloud to check the flow before committing.
A name should honour your family's cultural or religious heritage. In multicultural families, a name can signal identity, honour ancestors, and bridge communities.
Balance standing out with fitting in. A very rare name may lead to a lifetime of mispronunciations; an extremely common name may feel generic. Aim for the middle ground.
Choose a name your child can write and spell early, and that others can spell correctly without repeated instruction. Clear, phonetic spellings reduce friction throughout life.
