Let’s be honest: no matter how good a friend someone is, there will always be those rare moments when their behaviorannoysthe heck out of you. Nobody’s a saint, not even the most emotionally intelligent peeps. But a slight annoyance can grow and fester if your pal doesn’t take your hints and keeps ignoring your boundaries. Enough to make you push back less subtly… or to have a smidgen of fun at their expense as aparent.

Picking out anamefor your child can truly be a daunting task. It’s a huge challenge, and there’s so muchsocial pressureto navigate. Not only that, but you also can’t help but consider how that one single name will affect your kid’s future.
Truth be told, it’s a wonder that any parent (especially the overthinkers) can settle on a name for their munchkins.
First of all, the people nearest and dearest to you are probably going to have strong opinions about your top choices, no matter what your personal favorites are.
You and your family and friends’ culture,traditions, and background are going to have a big impact on your choice, no matter what.
Next, you have to consider the possibility that your kid’s name is going to affect their time at kindergarten, school, and college. Unfortunately, bullies can and do find any reason to tease someone, but you don’t want to give them more ammo with a name that stands out too much.
Thirdly, you probably want your child’s name to be unique (without being weird), exude your love for them, and match your expectations for what kind of character and aspirations they might have in the future. It’s enough to make any new or expecting parent feel utterly overwhelmed.
