How Do You Choose the Perfect Baby Girl Name?

If you currently have 37 baby names saved in your Notes app, you're in good company.

Once you've narrowed down your favorites, start saying them out loud.

Say good morning to her using the name.

Say her first, middle and last name together.

Imagine introducing her to someone.

Picture it written on her first birthday invitation.

And definitely yell the whole thing like she's just colored all over your white sofa (coming soon...) 😂

Pay attention to the name you keep coming back to.

Sometimes your baby's name doesn't feel like the cleverest or most impressive name on the list.

It simply feels like her name.
