Why Pick a Name That Means Life?

There are several reasons you may want to choose a name with a meaning related to life or new life. Besides the fact that you’re welcoming and rejoicing in a new and precious life, you probably hope for a lively little one, bursting with energy and good health. When a child is born, and particularly if this is a first-born baby, your life changes forever and the family unit is “reborn” in a sense. A name that means “new life” can pay tribute to this momentous life transition. Religious families, or families who otherwise have an appreciation for the concept of resurrection may want to honor their belief system by choosing a new that means “resurrection” or “reincarnation”.

Choosing a Name—Start With Family Origins

We always love the idea of choosing a name from your child’s own heritage. If you’re intimately connected to your family’s roots, this might be second nature. But even if your ancestors emigrated long ago and you no longer speak their language, choosing a name to honor your family history could be really special and help teach your kids about their background as they grow. Of course, there are no rules when it comes to baby names! Choose a name that you love, above all.
