A poorly named child can be traumatized for their entire lives. A wrong name, like in the song by Johnny Cash, A Boy Named Sue can be dreadful. Sue was given the girl's name to toughen him up by an absentee father.

Would Sue have made the same choice if he had the opportunity? Possibly but most probably not. I have on occasion thought that a child should be able to pick his or her own name regardless. Can you imagine sleeping baby Kid Rock or would napping baby Scary Spice?

When my son was born I was accosted by administrative type right when my wife was leaving the labor room. I had forgotten what we wanted to name him and I was in a fright. My wife was still on goofy juice. She thought that he would have to make his way through life nameless.

Some parents have gone crazy naming their children names so unique that they make no sense at all, except to them. They claim that the googleability of their child's name may become VERY relevant when they being job hunting. Do ya think that this is a little obsessive? Dah!

A name should have dignity at the very least. Traditional names are safe. Something funky will always -- or better said -- eventually get you in trouble. Like Dweezil or Moon Unit, these are real people's names I might add, and are siblings wouldn't you know.

A good name should be easy and simple to say and spell. Our English language is often hard for some to learn because of the odd pronunciations and spellings. Use a S for a S sound and not a C. Parents have few opportunities to exert complete control but this is one.

You may have a big family. Naming your baby will surely cause some upheaval by offending someone. Great Aunt Whatchamacallit was holding out for someone to name their baby after her before she died. Do not succumb to the pressure. Name the infant what you want.

No kidding! The act of naming a baby boy or girl is very serious. The name you choose for your sleeping baby should function for you and the child. Imagine calling your little one at the neighbors -- Optimus Prime come home and mow the yard. It boils down to choosing a name that gets you and your baby to sleep throughout the night.
