My brother and his wife just found out they are having a baby boy! Here are my recommendations for choosing a name.
1. No names that end in "-er" "-or" "-ar". Just think about having to say Trevor Barber, Parker Barber, Connor Barber. Too many "er"s.
2. Before thinking that spelling a name "creatively" is a good thing, consider that your son will have to correct every school teacher he will have for the rest of his life. Spare him that trouble.
3. Before deciding for sure, tell several middle school children the name. See how many ways they can make fun of that name. Any more than 3 and you should reassess.
4. No names that could possibly be considered a girl's name. Think of the young boy's self esteem...and those middle schoolers.
