What should we name our child? We're having a baby! As soon as the expectant parents share this joyful news with their family and friends, the questions usually start rolling in: "What will it be? And what should we name it?" However, very few have an immediate answer to the naming question. Choosing a first name can be quite a dilemma: Emma and Ben? Or perhaps Mila and Deniz? The path to the perfect first name is not easy. After all, it's a decision for life – the responsibility is significant.
