please dont name your baby that

So almost everyone I know is prego right now, well alot of people are. Guess its got me thinking about baby showers and baby names. Who am I kidding, I have been thinking up baby names since I was 12. just for the record, at 12 it was was going to be Cory Hayden (hayden for my dad, yes he had that name before it was cool, trend settttttterrr!) and a girl was Rachel Renee. I dont like those names anymore (besides hayden). Clearly since Nathan's name is not Cory. Must of been during my boy meets world days. I would tell you the names I like now, but you would just steal them because they are awesome.

So anyway, just thought I would throw some tips out there and the site that I love to play on for baby names.

These tips are from me,
1. Check out the top baby names, and stay away from any on the top 10. Do not make your kid the 10th Maddy in class. Yes uh Maddy D with blonde hair, you had a question?
2. When naming after relatives, yeah its great to honer grandpa, but when his name is Cletus, consider a middle name or something else. I love both my grandmas dearly, but their names are Wilma Gladys and Verna Reba, so honoring them with a picture in the living room is nice enough.
3. Stop Naming after the father, unless your going to give a nickname to be called, so when someone calls you dont have to say who little Joe or big Joe? (who calls anymore, even the baby has their own cell number)
4.Dont do anything to cutesy. Yeah Freddy is cute for a little boy, but can you see Freddy going into a job interview? Or running for president? No because he is still stuck on the mickey mouse club.
5. Beware of the both gender names. I have alot of things I could say, but I wont. Just dont let your kids be made fun of.

here is tips from some one credible,
