Want to tell the world you're tickled pink -- or blue -- about your baby's name? Looking for an alternative to acrostic poems to commemorate or celebrate the name you painstakingly chose for your bouncing bundle of joy?

Sterling silver baby rattles and monogrammed spoons are widely popular traditional ways to honor your baby and his or her name. Here are a few other creative ways to let the world - and your babe - know you're tickled about his or her name.

Your dot-com kid
Registering a personalized domain name such as www.ZacharyRobert.com or www.NicoleLeigh2008.com does more than keep your family and friends up to date on all the wonderful things your baby is doing. It gives you a creative outlet to blog about your baby, and most importantly, shouts your baby's name to the World Wide Web.

Incidentally, if you're worried about protecting your or your baby's identity or privacy, you can create a Web site or blog that requires visitors to have a password -- provided by you -- to enter the site.

Bejeweled baby names
Mother's bracelets can be found on the arms of moms everywhere. Sparkly, glittering trinkets for you and your baby, as well as your baby's grandmothers, aunts, and godmother can be customized at www.mothers-bracelets.com or www.thingsremembered.com. These retailers let you engrave names or initials,or choose names and colors of crystals.

And to truly add your own personal style and flair, consider stringing colored crystals and baubles together to create individualized jewelry that highlights your baby's name. Do it yourself with "Simply Beautiful Beaded Jewelry: 50 Quick and Easy Projects" (North Light Books, 2006).

Wear it well
Personalized T-shirts, baseball caps, or sweatshirts keep your baby comfortable and let you gaze at your baby and his or her name all day long. Lilypad Baby (www.lilypadbaby.com) offers a wide range of clothing and accessories that can be personalized with his name, initials, or even his nickname, including bodysuits, burp cloths, pillowcases, and diaper covers. Add these touches to the nursery diaper bag or around your home to proudly commemorate your baby and his fabulous name.

Personalized plates
License plates, that is. Vanity plates such as NicsMom (for Nicole's Mom) and Mom2SAM (Mom to Samantha or Samuel) and LMC2008 (Lisa Marie Clausen born in 2008) are just a few ways to drive in baby name style.
