2. Name them after you or your partner: Let your new child carry on your name or your partner’s, or at least something similar. You’re sure to be proud that they have your name, making this a choice you aren’t likely to regret.
3. Name them after someone who you look up to: Choose the name of a figure who has inspired you, whether it’s a character in a book or a historical figure. Using this name will carry on a much deeper meaning to you and your child than one that just has a sound you like.
