If you are like most parents, you know your baby-to-be is more than the average baby; he is going to make his mark on the world. But, before he can run for president, he has to learn to walk, talk and oh, yes, he has to have a name!
There are many different approaches to finding the right name for your baby. But when it comes to picking out the perfect name, here's a common thread: You don't want your son or daughter to be teased because of it. Granted, every name has the potential for teasing. There is always that one kid in class who can find a way to make fun of any name out there. But it's also true that some names are simply higher on the teasing probability chart. Keeping a few facts in mind may help reduce the chance that your kids will endure this kind of name-calling.
There are many superstitions connected with fertility, pregnancy, labor and birth, and caring for your baby. But have you ever thought about it being good or bad luck to name your baby and start using the name while he or she is in utero?
As part of a student project geared toward the fourth through eighth grades, students were asked to identify and draw lines of symmetry in each letter of their name. "M," for example, has one vertical line of symmetry; "H" has both a vertical and a horizontal line of symmetry. Compared to their peers, they were then asked who had the most or least symmetrical name. Following this, they were asked to rewrite their names as "art" on blank paper, and try to carefully draw the characters so they were as symmetric as possible. After they finished creating their names as art, they were then supposed to mark the lines of symmetry they found.
You want your baby's name to be unique, but not too unique. The name should be just different enough that it doesn't entice ridicule, but also not so extraordinarily trendy that when you call your child's name at the playground, 40 other children come running. With so many factors that could come into play in naming a child, it's enough to send parents in search of outside assistance with naming their children-a practice many parents already have put into place.
Often times, parents-to-be plan their baby's nursery around a theme. They choose a theme that will suit their baby well, that will surround their baby with love, and that will make their baby smile feel special each and every day. Dedicated moms and dads decide on a theme for the nursery that is not just something they are pleased with today but rather it is something that they will feel good about tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that as well. 
Forwers of the ABC hit series, "Lost," the name "Hurley" may stir images of a millionaire lottery winner who suffered from bad luck after the hitting the jackpot including a death in the family, a house that burned down, and yes, a plane crash. Well, for Moms and Dads seeking unique names for their children, perhaps they'll be able to bypass pop culture character traits in search for the elusive extraordinary name. 
From coast to coast, parents-to-be are tasked with giving their bundle of joy a moniker that will identify them for life. Yet, with so many names to choose from, many little rascals still end up with the same name!
