Creating a note titled “baby name ideas” on your phone (un)officially marks the beginning of your new life as a parent — an existence full of joy, sleepless nights, and a constant state of overwhelming feelings. Giving a name to that small bean growing inside of you makes everything much more real. The next 20 years or so will be spent maturing together with this little person, so the choice is more important than ever.
