Mommy Dearest: In-Laws Call Baby by Another Name
Mommy Dearest,
My husband and I put a lot of time into choosing our children's names. We have two boys: Matthew, 3, and August, who is 3 months old. We named our younger son for the month he was born and my in-laws have made it clear that they are not fans of the choice.
Is It Important For Parents to Share Same Last Name as Child?
In modern times, it is not surprising for mamas to keep their maiden names. In the case that the parents are happily together, many moms and pops give their child the father's last name. If, however, there was a less than amicable split before the birth, many mothers choose to label the baby with her own family moniker.
How Well Do You Know Celebrity Baby Names?
From Zuma to Ever, celebabies have some of the most unique names around with some even more unique meanings. You may know the celebrity kiddos, but do you know what their names mean? Take the quiz to test your knowledge.
Did You Give Your Daughter a Masculine Name?
Move over Judge Judy! You may have agonized over coming up with an inventive name for your daughter, but your little miss Ryan, Kelly, or Riley may be headed for the high court. That's because a recent study has found that females with masculine names are more successful in law careers than those with girly-girl monikers.
Is It Important to Love Your Children's Names the Same?
Lots of women think labor is easy compared to choosing their child's name. While selecting a moniker for the first mini me can be easy for parents, many have a hard time coming up with a comparable one for their second or third offspring. My husband and I had to consider both our son and daughter's names when we decided on the options for our baby-to-be.
When Is a Name Off Limits?
I'm going to be bold and assume that Bronx Mowgli was not on Jessica Simpson's short list of names for her future children. I'll also go out on a limb and speculate that Angelina and Brad won't call a hypothetical seventh child Jennifer. But would it be inappropriate for Courteney Cox and David Arquette to have a son and name the baby Brad?

Can't decide what to call your impending babe? Put its naming rights up for auction on eBay! That's what an unemployed Arkansas mother of six is doing for her seventh baby.
Give Your Child a Name Friends and Family Don't Like?
Nine months is enough time to come up with a name. At least, that is how long nature allows. During those 40 weeks, moms and dads rattle their brains and flip through the pages of books to find and agree on the perfect moniker for their impending bundle of joy.
Unisex Baby Names: Perfect Fits For Girls and Boys
Giving baby an unusual moniker seems to be the trend, especially in Hollywood. Parents trying to steer away from more traditional names, but not willing to go as far as Inspektor Pilot, Zuma or Bronx are turning to unisex labels for their babes. Names like Morgan, Charlie and Jordan are becoming increasingly popular to use for both lil ladies and lads.
Tell Mommy: Naming Traditions
Selecting your lil one's moniker can take the entire nine months of your pregnancy. Finding a name you and your spouse like that isn't being used by your friends or relatives is enough to send many mamas-to-be over the edge.
For some families, the process is made a bit easier by tradition.
