Names are extremely tricky these days..You don't want something that's overly trendy, but yet you don't want something that's boring..The trick is to pick something that will fit for life..
Here's how we decided on our son's name..
1. Does it sound like a cute baby name and can he have fun nicknames?
2. Is it a name that sounds cool, but yet can sound classic?
3. Will his name sound like a good teenager/early adult name?
4. Will his name sound stupid when he's 46 yrs old and introducing himself to people from all walks of life?..
5. Will it sound like a good name when he's old and has grandkids?..For example we didn't think it'd sound right for a 75 yr old man to have his grandkids call him Grandpa Blair..
So we ended up deciding on Cooper..Which we felt fit all our criteria..Some may disagree or may not like his name, but we felt it fit perfect..Plus we wanted his name to start with C because my name does and I wanted him to have the same initials as me..
I had a co worker who named her kid cooper, but her accent made it sound like KOOPA haha me and the rest of the night shift were like KOOPA? Like King Koopa from Super Mario Bros. You guys ever ask your parents how they came up with your name? or siblings names?
