How Do Different Baby Names Move You? Take The Baby Names Self-Test And See For Yourself



"Parents can only put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

Anne Frank (1929-1945)



A Baby Names Self Test.

Now it’s time to put some of your baby names and meaning of names knowledge to the test. After all, names of all sorts evoke deep feelings in us all.



This will be an interesting and enlightening Baby Names Self-Test for you to take.

You will be asked to consider a few short lists of baby names, and then to discover for yourself how these names make you feel?

By taking this Baby Names Self-Test you will be able to anticipate what emotions and feelings these same names are likely to evoke in others.

Learn how others are likely to respond to your baby based solely on the sound of their name.

Yes, baby names are that important!

    Share Your Favorite        Baby Names Story

How did you choose your baby's name?

Share your story today!

Remember, baby names become childhood names, which become Preteen and Teenager names, which becomes your permanent, one-and-only name.

You are not about to name a puppy or a new boat here.

You will actually be able to decide the moniker, the unique word or label by which another human being will be known for the rest of their life.

This simple exercise will help you to discover how different baby names affect you, and how they are likely to affect your baby.

You are going to discover how you feel when you hear or read certain baby names.

Ask yourself how you feel about the baby names you will shortly be reading.

- Would you want to date a person who has that name?

- Would you want to work with a person who has that name?

- Would you want to sit next to a person who has that name in your class at school?

- Would a person with that name likely be picked first or last in a school game or social activity?

If this sounds a bit childish to you, it might be because it is.

Your child will, for many years, live in a 'childish' world. You can't judge a child's world by looking through adult glasses.

Now please read the following baby names as found in this Baby Names Self-Test, batched loosely by category type, and see how you feel about each name you read?

Take your time.

Ask yourself if you can imagine a particular baby name becoming a permanent part of your family's life?

You can do this Baby Names Self-Test over and over again with as many lists of baby names as you can get your hands on. The following are just a few short lists of baby names to help you to learn this skill and to prove to you the reality of what is being taught here.

By using the skills learned in this exercise; just from hearing the sound of a particular baby name spoken or read, with an eye towards how you and others would likely react to a person with that name, many a grateful parent has found the perfect name for a soon to be happy, contented, and perfectly named baby.



DISCLAIMER

This Disclaimer is presented to protect and safeguard the feelings of all of the Parents and Parents-to-be who are at this very moment wondering what name to give their child.

There are No Wrong Answers to the Baby Names question; if a name feels right to you and those involved with you in this decision, then that name IS the right name for you and for your baby.

Please do not take offense if a name you like or don't like is on either List A or List B.

It should be astutely noted that neither list is identified as being positive or negative, good or bad. There are no judgments assigned to either of the lists.

You will, however, upon reading the lists of baby names included in this Baby Names Self-Test come to your own conclusions as to the nature and characteristics regarding both lists.


And that is the very point of this exercise.

If we lived in a perfect world we would not have to deal with such issues.

Regrettably, the world in which we live is not yet perfect.

So please proceed to this Baby Names Self-Test and enjoy the discovery and learning that awaits you.

Did you find yourself feeling a certain way about any of the baby names you just reviewed in this Baby Names Self-Test?

Did you form an opinion or two about some of the names on the lists?

Did you perhaps make a few ‘snap’ judgments based solely on the look and feel of a certain name?

If you did then you are not alone.

Welcome to the world of imperfect human beings.

Please keep in mind that life is not fair.

Your child should only and ever be judged on the content of their character and the kindness of their heart. In a perfect world a person’s name should have nothing to do with how they are viewed by themselves or by others.

Yet as the preceding exercise illustrated, we do not at this time live in a perfect world.

I can well imagine this anxious toddler saying:

"YOU NAMED ME WHAT?!?


No really....No more jokes here....


YOU NAMED ME WHAT?!?


Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?"


Don't let this happen to you or to your baby.

Take your time and consider carefully the name, and the Meaning of the Name, that you will give to your child.

Your child will need every advantage in life that you as their parent can provide them with. Choosing the proper name by which your child will be known is just one such advantage.

Test out lots and lots of different baby names before you decide on that one perfect name that is just right for you AND for your baby.



Review this Baby Names Self-Test as often as you like.

Help your child to feel good about what they are going to be called every day for the rest of their life.



There is a lot more parenting wisdom to share. Here is another Baby Names Self-Test thought: Be the Parent who tests out all sorts of different baby names until you find the prefect baby name that will perfectly suit your new baby and the image of what their life could be that you hope to share with them through the name you give to them at any time, for any reason, over and over again.









Enjoy The Process, Whatever Form That Process Happens To Take For You, In Choosing A Baby Name That Feels Right And Fits Perfectly For Everyone Involved!
