Too many factors play a role and there are parents who get further and further away from finding the right name as the pregnancy progresses.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, they are inundated with suggestions from their environment, but on the other hand, they certainly had to drop many shortlisted names from the running because the partner categorically opposed them.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/>If the expected offspring is the second or third child, the task is usually even more difficult.  They have already had to choose their favourites once and certainly cannot imagine that it would be possible to agree on a name again.<\/p>\n<p>Since the internet came into existence, at least the possibilities of coming across the ideal name have multiplied, because there are a myriad of sites where you can research names for both sexes from all over the world and all eras.<\/p>\n<p>As at all times, there is a tendency for the majority of people to give their child a popular name rather than a very fancy one.  This is a first, very helpful selection criterion, so ask yourself:<\/p>\n<p>1. do I want my child to have a fancy or very popular, common name?<\/p>\n<p>The second criterion is whether it is important that the first name fits well with the surname, because if this should be very important to you, then you can confidently eliminate all first names that come from a clearly different linguistic area, because Francesco Meyer will never sound good, whether you get used to it or not is another question.  Second question:<\/p>\n<p>2. should the name match our surname?<\/p>\n<p>If you have allowed a name to rise among the favourites, sometimes the fact that you or your partner know a person with this name (personally) can put a spanner in the works.  Sometimes, however, this is precisely a positive argument, if it is a beloved relative, for example. Therefore, ask yourself:<\/p>\n<p>3. may the name remind me of a person?<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, there are also names with meanings.  In some cases, it can be helpful to research these, because if you come across them, this can help you decide whether to keep the name in the running or to remove it directly from the list.<\/p>\n<p>4. is it acceptable if the name has a meaning that I do not like?<\/p>\n<p>One should also focus on the shape and length of the names and then decide whether to give a name that will not come into use as such, as all the world will make an abbreviation or nickname out of it.  An example: Elisabeth and the like quickly become Lisa or Betty.<\/p>\n<p>5. can I live with the fact that my child will probably never be called by its real first name, or do I even prefer this?<\/p>\n<p>The latter can be the case if the name sounds old-fashioned and outdated in its entire length, but I like it, but the abbreviation is modern and more affable.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, a tip that you should really take to heart.  Be sure to try it out with the names that are relatively left at the end:  Imagine your child as an adult person.<\/p>\n<p>6. how will it sound if I call an adult by that name and not a little baby?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ein Kind braucht einen Namen, dies ist eine Tatsache, doch bei der Auswahl tun sich viele Eltern schwer.\u00a0 Zu viele Faktoren spielen eine Rolle und es gibt Eltern, die sich mit fortschreitender Schwangerschaft immer weiter davon entfernen, den passenden Namen zu finden.
