[i]"No matter what your criteria are, you can start your name search by ignoring them altogether.
"Choosing a baby name isn’t like shopping for a new refrigerator. A practical checklist of requirements can’t pinpoint the right model. That’s because the ultimate test of a successful name choice isn’t function, but emotion: the feeling in your heart every time you say your child’s name … . …
"Brainstorm a list of names that you’re drawn to, even if you can’t possibly choose them for your own child. [name_m]Just[/name_m] focus on your emotional impression – names that make you smile … . …
"It doesn’t matter if [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] sounds terrible with your last name, or your cousin already named her daughter [name_u]Piper[/name_u], or you could never really pull the trigger on [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f]. For now, you’re just aiming for that warm, happy tingle of name love.
"With your ‘list of love’ in hand, you can turn back to the practical criteria you set out with. If a name on the love list actually satisfies the criteria, hurrah, you may be done! If not, let the list be your emotional anchor as you set out to find the perfect name. …
“No matter your approach, hang on to the positive feelings and don’t let your head override your heart. When it comes to names, first impressions matter.”[/i]
