Brainstorming Names For Your Baby

Sure, you can wade through 60,000 names and look for the one that catches your fancy. Another approach is to sit down with a glass of wine ( grape juice for mom-to-be ) and make the following questions into a game. Brainstorm using some or all of these questions and see what kind of ideas they spark. Remember, there is no rule that says a baby can only have one name. If you work together, you might find a few that you both like and respond to at the same time.
  1. Find out who are your favorite artists?
  2. What is your favorite movie? Who are the stars?
  3. What is your favorite novel? Who are the main characters?
  4. Name every family member as far back or distant as you can remember?
  5. Figure out what part of American history do you like?
  6. Find out what countries are your ancestors from?
  7. What languages do you speak?
  8. What is your favorite city? What is your favorite state?
  9. Try to remember where did you go on your first date?
  10. Where were you married?
  11. Where did you go for honeymoon?
  12. Your favorite teachers?
  13. Your favorite flowers, gems, trees?
