Unfortunately there is no way of telling if your child will be sensitive and introverted or gregarious. Some children will be unaffected by attempts at teasing while others will be so badly affected to the point that they will refuse to go to school. Avoid names that begin with the same letter as other members of the family. This can be very inconvenient later on. Some people think it is important that a name has a clear gender identification.
Some names are ambiguous in identifying the gender of the owner.
If you decide that it is important that your child have a name with a clear gender identification, you will rule out those names that are being used for both boys and girls. Avoid names like Taylor or Casey which do not make clear the sex of the child. . . . . . Return to our Home Page .
