People nowadays are often in searching between two things which can cause them a conflict someday. They want to be seen as a unique individual, and they do not want to be treated than other people. It seems that people crave standing out and fitting in at the same time. Lately, people have been trying to give their children uniqueness at this point of time. But we should know that there is a good and bad aspect relying on this. In a good light children see they are unique and know that they are an individual because they do not have to learn the concept of sharing the same name as someone else. Due to difficulty of unique names they are often mispronounced and difficult also to spell, so the children tend to have to correct others. Many times people with unusual names are given nicknames so that people can pronounce them, they can also be teased or made fun of because of a strange name.
And here is the story about my son and his wife who are expecting their first child. And they found out already that their child is a boy in an ultrasound. They have been searching for baby boy names since they found out the sex of the baby. My daughter-in-law at times has very different ideas so I have been concerned about what type of baby boy names she is going to come up with. She bought a book of names to find out different meanings. She believes that what ever you are named this will be your destiny. I tease her that she will be giving birth to the next messiah because her name is Mary. My son is stressing about this because he remembers teasing kids in his class in school who had uncommon names. He fears that if his wife insists on a strange name his son will be ridiculed and called by a nickname anyway. My daughter-in-law insists that whatever baby boy name they decide on that this is what everyone will call the child she does not want them to be called by a shortened version or nickname. I keep on telling here that she cannot control what other people decide to do. And the time came that the baby grows matures he decided that it’s rather have people call him something different than the name she gives him.

When my son asked me for my opinion I told him that my only wish for them is that their baby is healthy. That no matter what name they give to him I will love him because he is their child, and will be my first grandchild.
I’ve never thought that it was so hard picking out baby boy names for my son. I have a perfectly average name, and I figured that my son could have the same. Nevertheless, once my wife and I started talking about baby boy popular names, it became clear that we were going to have a harder time picking one out than we had thought. We usually agree with each other, but in picking out baby boy names we had a little or no common ground. I wanted to name him Bill or Jim. She wanted to name him Duke or George. I hated her names, and she thought mine were boring.
And finally, we have a condition, we consulted a source of baby boy names online. Searching online is much easier than you think. It is really amazing how many people put good quality free information on the Internet for nothing. Nonetheless, soon we got some sick of pouring through pages and pages of websites. And we also went out to the store and got a baby naming book, and started to look through. It was one of those ones that tells you the meaning of the name, where it comes from, and some of the people who have had that name. It’s a useful book, and it gave us both a lot of different ideas.
You might think that it was the end of it. People assume that we are reasonable kind of parents that once we had a good source of baby boy names, we would find something to agree on. And you are wrong if you believe on that way of thinking. We each had dozens of baby boy names that we liked, but the other one hated. To me, it seemed like she was being stubborn and unreasonable. To her, I seemed the same way. The only way we finally resolved it was decided to wait until the baby was born. We figures that, once he was born, we would give him a good looking over and see what name seemed to fit him. After all, for all we knew picking a name ahead of time was a big mistake. What if the baby did not look like it at all?
