Unique Baby Names
It is no surprise that choosing a baby name is one of the most difficult thing for expecting parents. Although it is very useful to choose the baby name before delivery, but it is easier said than done. The problem in choosing a good name is that multiple criteria need to be satisfied, the toughest one is uniqueness requirement.
Here is an interesting article on the evolution of baby names in US. In my religion, traditionally naming the baby requires checking with an astrologer for the perfect starting letter depending on day/time of the birth. But we decided not to follow this since in today’s world it makes no sense. Instead we thought that we will name the baby based on
Sweet Sounding Unique Good Meaning Universal Appeal Easy to pronounce by everyone
My baby’s name is “Naysa” [Naa-ye-sa] which means miracle of god.
When I started looking for baby names, searching on Google did not helped, it rather added to the confusion. I just want to share some of the names we found interesting:
Baby Girls
