There are an estimated 211 million pregnancies each year, with that being said, there are a whole lot of babies that have to have names! Millions of pregnancies are unplanned and coming up with names may be overwhelming so here are some ideas of how to come up with a name.
Think About Meanings
First off, many people do not even think about coming up with a meaning that they would like their babies name to mean or represent. You can easily think of certain words that are special to you and search them to see if any nice names come up. This is a fun way to name your child. For example, if you are religious, you can look up words such as "forgiveness", or "faith" and a decent list of names will come up. (Be sure that if you are searching words or phrases in our search box, that you check "meaning" or it will search that word as an actual name). Here are some names that came up when I searched "faith".
