Baby names that fit your personal style
Taking shortcuts: Nicknames
 Ah, the inevitable nickname. Although short names like Rose or John can't be abridged, when it comes to longer names such as Elizabeth or Richard, there are many truncated possibilities. Here's the kicker: whether or not you or your child decide to abridge the name for an informal touch, chances are someone else will shorten it for you. (Have you ever met a Jennifer who didn't want to be automatically called Jen? Us too.) "Inventing" a baby name
 The quest to find a name that's unique yet personal can be accomplished by looking beyond baby books and family trees. In fact, blending two, three or more names together into one is an option many have used to come up with a one-of-a-kind name. Play around with combinations of the first or middle names of the baby's parents, grandparents, or your favorite names to find inspiration in creating a unique name that represents both your baby and your unique style. |
