There's an earlier post about the importance of a name. Names mean things, they're important. Now we know we're having a girl, the responsibility of naming just became more real because we don't have to choose between Jack or Jill, we have to decide between Jill and Janet. You'd think that having a book with 60,000 baby names would provide enough ideas. Apparently not.
Baby center has some interesting concepts, but I'm not sure if 80's movies or comic book characters are good sources for my daughter's name. "Hey Honey, guess what, I named you after the Celtic Goddess of Motherhood...because I just didn't care enough to put the proper amount of energy into finding an appropriate name we thought would fit you." That should go over real well. The other option is figuring out how "normal" you may want your kids name. BabyNamesWorld.com has a nice page where names are ranked, making it easy to increase the chances that when you shout "JACOB, PUT THAT DOWN!!!" dozens of children will drop whatever they have in their hands at that time: with Jacob being numero uno in popularity. In fact, I'm considering taking a poll to see what everyone else thinks I should name my daughter. Any suggestions?
