When choosing a baby's name you should not only go by sound, but by meaning. I know someone, not close, who named her baby a French sounding word because it sounded sexy and mysterious. I looked up the name after she introduced him and it means the devil's child. Please check. Some people believe names carry attributes. Be careful out there.

My daughter has a beautiful dark haired daughter and, when she was born, they didn't have a name ready but the baby just looked like the name they eventually chose. They later found out that it meant dark haired beauty and was celtic. My daughter and her husband were both born in Scotland!

I love the meaning behind names but sometimes I wonder what others are thinking when they name their kids. There are great ideas about having a unique name but some are really just "out there".

When I chose names for my daughters I went online and looked up Native American names. I was looking for one with a certain meaning and found it. It not only means something special to me but sounds good as well.
