Names give us a sense of identification. Naming a baby is a very important step during a women’s pregnancy. It is a big decision that you and your partner must make. Not only can this step be so important and stressful but it can also be exciting. You will put a lot of thought into different names before you find the perfect one. You should take your time deciding which name will be right for your baby. Make sure when you finally figure out a name, you and your partner both like and agree on it. So the real questions are how would you go about naming your baby? What should you take in consideration when naming your baby? The name that will be given to your baby will be something that he/she will walk this Earth with and will reflect himself/herself a person.
As I said in my introduction, your children must live with the name that you give them for the rest of their life or until they are old enough to legally change it. Make sure when you are figuring out a name that it sounds well written or read aloud. For starters, you can refer to the baby as the name that you have chosen and see if you like calling your baby that particular name. If not, find something else that is more suitable and do the process over again until the name is right one. People find inspiration through any and everything in the environment like TV shows, nature, or even books. Some people try and be very creative when coming up with names, in order for their child’s name to be considered “unique”. One thing you want to try and avoid is becoming over creative with spelling and pronunciation of a particular name. It could be difficult for society to pronounce and could be really aggravating for the child to always have to correct people. Think about how the ch...

... to do otherwise. More than likely if you wouldn’t want to be called that, don’t make your child go through the pain that didn’t even have to be caused in the first place. The perfect baby name will come to you. Don’t decide so quickly, you have 40 weeks before the baby gets here. Take your time and enjoy the journey.

My full name is Jason Accardi Junior. I was confirmed in the Catholic Church at the age of 14 and received the name John Bosco for my confirmation Saint. The reason I was named Jason because of my father Jason. I do not have a middle name because my father does not have a middle name; therefore for me to be a junior, I could not have a middle name either. The reason my father wanted to name me after him was because it was the only name he could picture me as being. My mother wanted other names for me but my dad was determined and had his mindset to name me after him. He wanted to start a tradition or a legacy of the name Jason through the Accardi bloodline.
“Can you imagine what a mess a world would be without names? (website)Names are very important to a person and their individuality. Ayn Rand’s novel “Anthem” is a book in which the people written about do not have names. The importance of having your own individual names is huge. A name can have meaning given to it, like how the name Sue means lily. Most parents when giving you your name have a meaning behind it and put much thought into what their future child should be named. Names can give you a part of your identity.

The middle name that appears on my birth certificate is Cristina and I’m quite fond of my middle name because to me the name sounds utterly cheerful and friendly. Maria and Cristina complement each other. Many people when I tell them how my middle name is spelled they tend to believe my mom made a mistake and spelled my name incorrectly. The truth is she meant to spell it like that not because she decided to be slightly unique and spell my name without the letter h but because she decided to commemorate someone or something.

Some of the main points I found were interesting to me like the history and my personality.
