  2. Make a short list of 1st names you like. Use this website to help you find names that work well with your surname.
  3. Look for potential middle names once you have a short list of 1st names.
  4. Try imagining called your baby your chosen name when you’re cross. Does it still sound ok?
  5. Ask your partner or friends or family to create their own short list of names. Then compare the names. Can you agree on a short list?
  6. Leave it a week or two come back to your favourite names. Choose the one you like the most?
  7. Wait for the baby’s arrival and now you are ready to tell everyone your chosen name.
