Everyone seems to want to name my baby. How can I decide?
While it doesn't hurt to be open to all suggestions -- and pregnant women hear plenty -- the decision is up to you and your partner. Names are permanent, so don't choose lightly. Start discussing names with your partner as soon as possible to set some guidelines. In addition to steering clear of names that bring back bad memories, you may want to avoid the baggage attached to a famous name like Cher or Fabio. Keep a list of favorites handy so you can add to it whenever a name pops into your head.
