You Named Your Kid What? Tips for Choosing the Perfect Name for BabyOriginally, the name you chose for your child seemed ideal. And now that time has passed and the true character of your child has emerged, that kicky name just doesn't fit. In some cases, the name just doesn't fit the personality.

For example, if Baby Peter's dad is named Paul, try using Little Pauly or Little Paul. Then as time passes and your child grows, allow them to choose the name they prefer - Paul or Peter.
