Baby names

I think you could write a saga the size of an encyclopedia, or two, about the different motives, hobbies and assumptions that have led parents to call their children one way and not another. So when I read the article that said how Game of Thrones, the fashion series, inspires a new trend in baby names, it was not that I was very surprised.

Choosing the baby's name is not an easy task. There are many issues that are taken into account when deciding what we will call our baby: fashion, family tradition, personal tastes, originality, meaning ...

I know it is said in a loving way, but I don't quite like it. In fact, I'm not even starting to like it. I am referring to those parents who call their daughters "chochete" and their sons "pichilla", or some variant that comes to say the same.

A few days ago there was the most anticipated birth for many Britons, the son of the Dukes of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middelton. I don't know if the most famous recent parents of the moment have already chosen their baby's name.

Some time ago we talked to you about names that are forbidden in the world, and as time passes some countries are expanding the list. This is the case in New Zealand, which lists up to 77 forbidden baby names.

"The story of my name" is an illustrated and personalized Kidymundi book in which the little ones will discover where their name comes from, or at least they will discover an imaginative story that tries to explain it. No etymologies or family inheritances: in this book a game is proposed and children learn to spell by the way.

We have spoken on several occasions in Babies and more on the subject of the names that parents give their children, because there are parents who seem to take this choice very lightly, as we can see in the news that I comment on today.

The choice of the baby name can be a desired or feared moment, although what we usually agree on is that we are not clear about it. The future mother bets on some names, the father on others, the family also has its opinion ... To facilitate this task there is a new guide for deciding the name of your child: "The best names for your baby", by Oniro.
