One of the first big decisions a parent makes in their child-rearing journey is what to name their baby. For some people, choosing a baby name is simple. They’ve known what they would name a baby their whole life, so when it’s time to welcome a new family member, the decision’s already been made. Other people spend an entire pregnancy fretting over baby names and still haven’t decided by the time the baby comes. Truly, it can be exhausting. Baby naming is big business. Many people make a career by helping people choose the perfect moniker for their child. One of the most important considerations for some people popularity. Some families want to say as far away from popular baby names as possible and others love to be among the many.
