Some baby names sound like the parents were naming a limited-edition luxury car instead of a human being.
I understand wanting your child to stand out. But imagine being 45 years old, sitting in a serious work meeting, and having to repeat your name three times before anyone can pronounce it.
Your parents thought it sounded magical. Your future coworkers are staring at the name tag like it's a spelling bee nobody signed up for.
And let's be honest, that adorable little baby is eventually going to be somebody's boss, a homeowner, a parent, or the person answering emails at 11 p.m.
A name doesn't need to sound like it belongs to a fantasy kingdom to be special.
Give your child a name they can grow into, not one that requires a pronunciation guide and a ten-minute explanation.
Your baby is only a baby for a few years. Their name is a lifetime subscription.
