Tip No. 1: Practice saying the name out loud, and think about possible nicknames that might be derived from it. Also, consider what the initials may spell (D.U.H. isn’t a great monogram).
Tip No. 2: Take your time. Once you think you’ve decided on the perfect name, sit on it for a while. See if it still feels right after a few weeks (or even months). And don’t let friends or family dissuade you too easily. Your opinion is the one that matters most.
Tip No. 3: Ultimately, it’s most important to go with your gut. Pay less attention to the meaning behind the name or to current fads, and focus on what’s really significant for you – whether that’s a traditional family name, or just a name that feels meaningful.
