However, as they get older, there will come a day when they will ask you why you gave them a particular name. It is not just about you but also about what vision you have for your boy or girl.

While coming up with a name from this list can't be an easy task, there are some factors that may make it easier for you apart from the meaning itself. Firstly, think about how the name might change because of the other kids in school. For example, Thomas might become Tom one day and may eventually morph into Tommy. The development of George into 'George of the jungle' is also a likely possibility. It is in times like these that reminding them of the beauty of their name will add value to their lives.

Secondly, the pronunciation of the name may become an issue for peers of your child. While the common names that are mentioned in this list such as Ryan or Ruby might be fine, a unique and exceptional name such as Zachary may face mutilation.

Lastly, there is a need to make a careful balance between a unique name and something that is common. While a unique name will make them stand out, a common name may give them a sense of mutual camaraderie with their peers.
