Rhyme with the sibling’s
name 
If the child has a sibling, you can
choose a name that will match with
the older sibling.
Don’t go by the trends
Something that’s ‘in’ today will be
outdated tomorrow.
Don’t choose a name just because it’s
a trend these days. Choose wisely.
Concentrate on the meaning of the
name and how would it sound like
when its called out.
Should sound good with the
surname  
Choose a name that you think will
suit your family and that will go well
with the surname you will be using.
If the name you select sounds funny
or awkward when combined with the
surname then you should rule it out.

Choose a name that you both agree
upon.
There will be lots of suggestions made. A
name that either of you disagree upon should
be ruled out.
Spell and pronounce the Name
correctly
A misspelt name leads to inappropriate
pronunciation that can cause lot of problem
and confusion in the long run.
Ensure that the name is easy to pronounce and
everyone pronounces it correctly. The last
thing you would want is your child correcting
everyone on how to pronounce his or her
name.

No lengthy names
Don’t select a too lengthy name. Later
it will become a burden when it
comes to filling passports, forms and
other certificates.
