Moment of choosing the baby's name

• May 6, 2024

A Uruguayan couple recently requested authorization in their country to register their daughter with the name of Maria Vuvuzela, in tribute to the popular instrument of the World Cup of South Africa. It may be curious in short, but in the long run, it is likely that that little girl does not see it as a nice occurrence from his parents.

Choose the baby name It should be a long-considered issue. This decision is very important in the life of a given person which is what the child, and later in adult life, will identify for the rest of their existence. Therefore, when selecting it, you have to think mainly of children and not in the search for something "super original" that nobody has heard before and as a desire to stand out from others. The harmony of the name with the last names is another aspect that we must take special care of.

Some advice from experienced parents
Choosing the name of the future baby is not an easy task for the couple. Fortunately, far are the times when boys and girls had to be called as their grandparents or in accordance with the saintly. Here are some tips collected from several pairs of parents:

• If you do not have a prior agreement, consult a book about names that explains its meaning
• Take into account that the name you put on the baby can influence your personality. Therefore, it is advisable to try not to baptize it with the fashionable name or that sounds strange, like María Vuvuzela
• If you have a rather long name, it is advisable to choose a short name and, if we have a short name, a long name may look good
• You should not resort to rhymes (for example, Ramón Rodón) who will then lend themselves to heavy jokes at school and work
• Avoid copying the name of the surname (for example, Fernando Fernández) as it causes a terrible effect
• Check that the name matches the surnames. For this, it is always good for the couple to write it on paper and read it as many times as necessary to check how it sounds.
