Naming our kids using baby naming apps are definitely on the rise. However, always understand that it is most important for you and your partner to love the name you have both settled down on. Select the name and let it sit for a while; frequently try calling out to your baby with the name and see if you're both comfortable with the sound of it. Always have a second option just in case that the name does not sound good for you or your partner, or that it does not go well with your last name.

While it can be overwhelming with and pressurizing choosing a baby name, never forget the fun that comes with it. After all, this is the very first memory you build with the little one as a family. Welcome the arrival of your new baby with the name you and your partner have chosen and enjoy every bit of parenthood.
