Debating concerning what to decision your baby? place yourself among the child’s shoes. image your child not as a cute baby but as a grown-up bearing the name you picked.
“My No. one tip is to stop and pretend you're naming yourself,” Laura Wattenberg, author of The Baby Name Wizard, says. “If you're starting get into your life currently, is that this what you’d would like to represent you?”
If the answer is affirmative, you're on the proper track. If not, it's time to travel back to the strategy planning stage.
Beware of fashionable Names
Apple. Zuma. Blue Ivy. Would these work for your baby?
And trendy names aren’t merely celebrities. “More than ever before,” Wattenberg says, “parents seem focused on finding a name that’s distinctive — a name that everybody likes and no-one uses.”
But what's stylish one year and out succeeding isn't attainable to predict. Here square measure merely several of the trends:
City names, like urban center and borough
Last names as initial names, like Parker and Coleman
Vintage names like Pearl and Ruby
Nature names like stream, Reed, and Skye
There’s to boot the long-standing tradition of naming a baby for a relative or someone you admire.
“When people choose a name, we tend to don't perceive what amount we've got a bent to square measure influenced by the world around u. s. of America,” Wattenberg says.
Obsessing Over the alternatives
As due dates approach, many parents-to-be comb through name books and websites.
“Parents became far more acutely aware concerning the flexibility of a name,” Pamela Redmond Satran, author of The Baby Names Bible, says.
She chalks that up to society’s heightened awareness of disapproval and image, but there’s little analysis to stay a replica the claim. Names that recite the tongue tend to form plenty of favorable impressions. In one study of 5 hundred lawyers, those with easy-to-pronounce names advanced faster and management plenty of senior positions.
Another survey gazing LinkedIn profiles found that male CEOs normally have one component part nicknames (for example, Jack or Bill), whereas female CEOs use full names with a pair of or three syllables (for example, Deborah or Carolyn).

An anonymous reader writes: This is a really cool single board computer that blends Raspberry Pi and Arduino with embedded sensors. It's perfect for making robotics and other sensor applications, and I'm going to make a drone with it. The board can run Linux and Android, and it's quite powerful given the small size.
I was hoping you guys could bring some more attention to this Kickstarter campaign so that the stretch goal can be reached, which will bring more sensors to the board. They have already raised over $200K, but they need $250K to add a barometer and altimeter. These two sensors would be nice to have when building drones, so I'm especially excited about the possibilities.
Thank you!
