The authorities at iVillage tell us that this year, traditional, down-to-earth baby names will move into the spotlight. No more extravagant, outrageous, hard-to-spell names. This year, we will see parents choosing names “rooted in good values, hard work, and (of course) our current favorite, feel-good obsessions (Twilight! Mad Men!).”
But if you’re looking to celebrity mommies to lead the way in “let[ting] go of the anything-goes baby naming game and pick something a little more down to earth…” don’t get all excited. You may be a little disappointed in the “sensible-ness” of the baby-name trend predictions for 2010.
Virtue Names
Such as: Hope, Grace, Faith, Honor, Patience, Justice, Temperance, True, Verity, Amity
2009 has definitely seen more than enough corruption and infidelity, so it’s no wonder people want to keep things simple and pure in 2010. Take actress Jessica Alba (pictured), for example, who named her firstborn Honor. I like it. But just wait til the little angels are a bit older… “Patience! I am at the end of my rope here! Verity! If you lie to me one more time…!! And Honor, that was a very mean thing to do to your sister!! I expect a lot more of you guys in the future!”
Getting your child’s name right can have implications on their career. In fact, studies show that daughters given more masculine-sounding names make more money and have greater chances of advancement. Something to think about!
Greetings,
It is amazing all of this talk about baby naming, picking names and just how misinformed parents-to-be are. They would be shocked to learn the truth about baby naming and what is really involved with picking names and how that name will affect their child. The most priceless gift parents can bestow on their child is his/her name. The name parents pick will reveal their child’s personal characteristics and traits while the birthdate reveals the child’s development.
Each name inked on a birth certificate along with the birthdate forms a blueprint that each child is born with. Using Chaldean Numerology, we can decipher the code that resides within each name using a proven, ancient mathematical formula. The name calculates the three core characteristics: Soul Desire, Personality and Purpose which is influenced by the naming convention.
Here’s an example. Suri means Princess in Hebrew, Red Rose in Farsi and PickPocket in Japanese, so what does the name really mean. It means whatever the name means in a given culture but that meaning does not have any bearing on the child in any way as a standalone name. The combination of the first and last name or first, middle and last name is what determines the characteristics that in turn reveal the behavior of the child.
