Choosing Baby Names

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Take Your Time

The worst thing you could do when choosing a baby name is to rush into it. Settling for second best may affect you and your child for a lifetime! Don’t commit yourself to the first name that you fancy. Keep searching until you find a name that you are 110% happy with. And don’t forget that you don’t need to have a name for your baby before birth. Some parents have been known to wait 2 or 3 weeks before deciding on that perfect name.

What Does it Mean?

Some parents don’t really care for the meaning of their baby’s name, where as others base their decision solely around it. But, in our opinion a quick check couldn’t hurt. Do you really want your big strong boy to have a name that means “pretty flower”? If you have a meaning in mind, but don’t know what names contain that meaning, visit our baby names and meanings database.

Spelling

Try to make sure you don’t choose a name that ends with the same letter that your last name begins with. This can sometimes make pronunciation a challenge. There are some exceptions to this rule, but in general it is best to keep it in mind when choosing a baby name. Try it for yourself and you’ll see what we mean. Letters like “l” and “s” are especially bad.

Say it Out Loud

Instead of referring to your unborn baby as he or she or “the baby”, try using one of the names that you like for a week or so. Saying it out loud and using it in common sentences will give you a better idea of how much you really like the name. Don’t forget, some names look great when written on paper, but sound terrible off the tongue.

Initials, Nicknames and Middle Names

There have been some embarrassing mistakes made when choosing baby names in the past. One of these is the uncanny chance of initials forming some undesirable abbreviation. ‘I P Daily’ is just one classic that springs to mind. Is what I’m trying to say is that you should always double check what the initials of your baby name choice are. Also think about possible nicknames that will be used to shorten your choice of baby name. You may love the name Robert, but hate the name Rob or Robby. When it’s time for your child to start going to school, there is a 99.9% chance that he will be known as Rob or Robby instead of Robert.

This also applies to using a suffix. If you are going to name your child after yourself or your partner, such as John Edward Mitchell III, remember that you will probably end up referring to the child by its middle name to avoid confusion. Therefore it is also important to remember all of these things when choosing a middle name for your little one.

Above all these baby naming tips, choosing a baby name can be broken down into two parts. Baby naming tip number one: choose a name that you think your child will be happy with. Baby naming tip number two: choose a name that both parents are 110% happy with. Follow these two main rules and everyone will be happy. Best of luck to you!

The Merits and Demerits of Tandem Pushchairs

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Double pushchairs are ideal for parents having twins or two babies with a very small gap in ages. Often, going out with both babies becomes a necessity, and it is in situations like these that double pushchairs are most utilized.

Double pushchairs come in two basic designs- the twin and the tandem. The choice of which to buy is best determined by the needs of the family and the babies. The twin seats both babies side-by-side while the tandem seats them one behind the other.

The tandem pushchairs are recommended for couples with two babies differing slightly in age. The elder one is seated in front, while the younger is placed at the back. The rear seat in a tandem can usually be laid out to form a cot on which the younger child can sleep comfortably. Also, the chances of the elder child disturbing the younger one are considerably reduced, as the seats are usually a little bigger. Bigger seats also ensure that the pushchair can support the weight of an older child as well.

Unlike twin pushchairs, tandems are capable of easily passing through narrow passages. Their biggest disadvantage lies in the fact that they are slightly heavier than the twin versions and their longer wheelbase makes them a little difficult to manoeuvre. They are also a little less stable than the twin types, and a greater degree of care needs to be exercised when moving them around.

Graduation Diplomas For All

Doctoral Tams

Part of the graduation attire for those with doctorates includes wearing of the tam instead of the usual caps. The tam is normally worn during the graduation ceremony by faculty members who hold doctorate degrees. The doctoral tams enable the faculty members and professors to make a distinction between themselves and the graduates. The most preferred material for making the tams is velvet, although one can choose any type of tam they want. The doctoral tams , which are made of velvet, are normally black in color. This is because most of the gowns are black and the black tam makes a perfect match. One can choose any color that matches their gowns.

The number of sides the tam can have is normally four, six and eight. The number of sides the tam has does not depend on the university but depends on the person. To complete the look, the doctoral tams are worn with a tassel attached to them. Those with doctorates prefer using silky tassels or metallic ones. There are others who prefer using gold bullion tassels. One should be certain of the type of tassel to be attached to the tam, because once attached they cannot be removed.
