How to Create a Name for a New Baby

Oftentimes parents opt for the road less traveled and decide to create a name for their baby versus choosing among a list of popular names. There are many methods you can use to create a name for a new baby. These methods include baby name generators from various websites, combining names and using different parts of names to create your own unique name. Please remember that the name you choose will follow your newborn forever, so choose wisely.

Instructions

      Use a baby name generator. Keep Kids Healthy and Baby Name Scramble allow you to create baby names on their websites. Baby Name Scramble requires you to enter the mother's and father's first names into the designated spaces and click the "Submit" button. Names are created using each letter in each parent's name. Keep Kids Healthy presents you with a variety of options to use to create your baby name. These options include scrambling names, printing the names backwards, and adding a prefix or suffix, just to name a few.

      Use alternative spelling for popular names. Be careful not to change the spelling so much that it will be hard to pronounce. For example, change Ryan to Rian, or Crystal can be changed to Christal.

      Think outside the box. Name your baby after your favorite flower, after a city that has meaning to you, or create one using a combination of your favorite sports teams.

      Create a name using meanings from another country. For example, Adoree is a female name that is of Latin-American origin and that means glory.
