Baby Names To Avoid 

By Fraser Wheaton

Although it's a widely spread "trend" to call your baby boy or girl with unique and oftentimes weird names, not everything is suitable for a baby and you have to think of how his or her name will affect your little one in the future. There are a few names that don't fit in the society or culture parents live in so it is a wise thing to do an extensive search for the right baby name. Or at least do a research on the names that you should avoid. Here are some examples of names that should be avoided, along with the reasons for which they're not very suitable.

Religion often comes into play when we have to take the tough choice of naming our baby girl or boy, but it is also a premise for awful naming situations. For example, if you come from a Muslim religion or culture, you should avoid naming your baby after characters found in the Holy Bible and vice versa. Although we don't like to admit it, religious strife is still big in both cultures and it can cause some potentially serious problems for your baby in the future. It is also recommended not to use Christian names if you are Jewish or have Hebrew heritage. And although it's a popular Latin name, some religious figures actively fight the use of the name "Jesus", for obvious reasons.

If you are a Christian parent living in a Christian environment, culture or society it is probably best if you use Christian names and avoid gothic names for example; gothic names you should avoid are Babylon, Jinx, Lucifer, Maleficent, Shadow or Spirit. They all have dark meanings and growing up and living in a highly religious Christian society will cause problems for a kid named like that.

If you live in a really strict environment and the society does not accept trendy and modern names, then is best if you avoid names like Amethyst (baby girl name) or Maverick (baby boy name). You should avoid the name Maverick because of its meaning 'wildly independent'.

You should also avoid naming you baby using fancy names or using celebrities baby names if you are not living up to their life style. Some clear examples of celebrity names to avoid include: Makena'lei, the name of actress Helen Hunt and writer and producer Matthew Carnahan's daughter. Maddox Chivan Thornton is another weird name, given by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to their adopted boy. Definitely a baby name to avoid.

 

Banjo is another celebrity baby name used by actress Rachel Griffiths and Andrew Taylor for her son. Banjo is actually a stringed instrument of African American origin. It is best if you avoid naming you baby like a musical instrument or a weird clothing style as it will cause laughter and giggles among his school colleagues and later on, when he grows up, among his work partners.

It is so easy to choose a wrong baby name for your kid that it's almost frightening. In the rush to be original and creative, some parents don't understand the fact that a person's name can actually be very influential on how he grows up and builds his personality. If he is ashamed with his name then he will probably be embarrassed and his self esteem might get hurt.

I can't think of a specific name, but I hate the current trend of naming kids with last names (like Madison) and after cars or expensive brand names.

You may be surprised to learn what is going through your child's mind! 

These are just a few of the benefits of teaching your child sign language:

Earlier communication with your child. Some children learn to sign as early as 7 or 8 months - much earlier than a typical baby learns to talk!

Babies who can communicate through sign are often much happier babies and toddlers which translates into a happier YOU!
Babies who can sign have shown less frustration and have fewer tantrums overall, since they can usually communicate their needs better.
Studies have shown that babies who learned sign as infants had a higher IQ overall than babies who didn't learn sign.
Children who have learned sign have been shown to have more advanced language skills than children who have not learned sign.
Signing in the classroom has led to improved math scores among students.
Learning sign language at an early age helps develop the brain in the critical early years of language development.
Signing with your child provides a unique bonding experience between you and your child.
Signing opens the doors to wonderful friendships with those who use ASL as their primary language.
Signing helps promote self-esteem in children.
You would be surprised at how often knowing sign language really comes in handy for both you and your child!
Signing is FUN for the whole family!!!!!
