Is Naming Your Child a Less Common Name Narcissistic?
Aside from having a very popular name, my brother Michael is a "junior" and said if he had kids he'd never have a namesake because he'd want his son to have his own identity. This, and the fact that I never wanted my children to have to answer to "Michael M." or "Mary L."
Did You Google Monikers Before Naming Your Baby?
What's in a name? Parents who are curious about the history of monikers might Google their favorite names to see what pops up in the search results. It may not require an Internet quest to realize that Alexander paired with Bell would remind most people of the telephone, but if you entered "Henry Collins," you would discover that there have been four famous men by the same name: a Canadian politician, an Australian boxer, a United States government employee/Soviet spy, and a character on the soap opera All My Children.
What Is the Meaning Behind the Name?
No matter whether it's traditional or something never heard before names have a meaning. Some people inherit family titles, others carry the same moniker as 80s cartoon characters, and some names are plucked straight from a book. Check your label knowledge and see if you know the meaning behind these sweet names.
Does Your Child Have a Nickname?

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.
