Baby Name Meanings
Executive Summary about baby names and meanings by Fraser Wheaton
Are you looking for a name for your baby? One of the first characteristics when choosing a name is its origin. This characteristic is perfect for those who choose their name for their babies based on their origin. Most parents look up the meaning of the name they plan on giving to their children. The baby name can have a historical meaning, a religious meaning, or the names can mean different qualities and virtues. Most black people use such interesting, beautiful and unique names for their baby using African baby names. The origins and the meanings of African baby names are really personal and extremely meaningful. For example: Abiodun is an African boy’s name and it is given to one born during war; Enam is a boy’s name and it means Gift from God.
Of course there are also a lot of popular religious baby names that many Christians use to name their children, such as: Abigail, which is a girl’s name and it means “wife of King David”, described as “good in discretion and beautiful in form”, or Adonia another Hebrew baby name which means “The Lord is my God”.
Parents these days search for a baby name that is original, with a special meaning, interesting to pronounce, and they try and try to find or even create a unique baby name which can reflect something meaningful for the parents as well as for their beloved babies. If you’re running out of inspiration, you can easily check out baby name meanings on the Internet.
Keep these characteristics and examples of baby name meanings in mind when the time comes to name your baby.
Baby Names To Avoid
There are a few names that don’t fit in the society or culture parents live in so it is a wise thing to do an extensive search for the right baby name. Religion often comes into play when we have to take the tough choice of naming our baby girl or boy, but it is also a premise for awful naming situations. If you are a Christian parent living in a Christian environment, culture or society it is probably best if you use Christian names and avoid gothic names for example; gothic names you should avoid are Babylon, Jinx, Lucifer, Maleficent, Shadow or Spirit. If you live in a really strict environment and the society does not accept trendy and modern names, then is best if you avoid names like Amethyst (baby girl name) or Maverick (baby boy name). You should avoid the name Maverick because of its meaning ‘wildly independent’.
You should also avoid naming you baby using fancy names or using celebrities baby names if you are not living up to their life style. Some clear examples of celebrity names to avoid include: Makena’lei, the name of actress Helen Hunt and writer and producer Matthew Carnahan’s daughter. Maddox Chivan Thornton is another weird name, given by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to their adopted boy. Definitely a baby name to avoid.
Banjo is another celebrity baby name used by actress Rachel Griffiths and Andrew Taylor for her son. It is so easy to choose a wrong baby name for your kid that it’s almost frightening.
