Is it an important task to find the right name for your baby? Does it have any effect on personality and human well-being?
After the baby is born the parents and society around start to shape his personality. A variety of factors such as economic, educational, health, family, and community can impact a baby’s emotional and physical well-being. But perhaps you haven’t thought so much about what impact on a person’s life could give his name. At first, it may seem like not an important factor but whether you like it or not, your name could be your biggest gift or vice versa.
Some parents tend to choose their children’s names carefully. They do research and analysis in order to choose wisely. For example, friends of mine were struggling to find the right name for their baby boy. After a period of time of research, they finally decided on a name and were super happy about their decision. While other friends decided to be creative and triedRandom Name Generator. They also were highly satisfied and happy as believed they found the most beautiful name for their baby girl there. As they said this tool gave a great variety of random names and helped to generate names she and her husband could not even think about. Even though two families have chosen different methods to find their baby names, the questions follow. Is it an important task to find the right name for your baby? Does it have any effect on personality and human well-being?
Some people state that people should choose baby names more wisely. According to David Zhu, a professor of management and entrepreneurship, who researches the psychology of names at Arizona State University: “Because a name is used to identify an individual and communicate with the individual on a daily basis, it serves as the very basis of one’s self-conception, especially in relation to others,”. This means that children’s names could have a major impact on children’s individual and social success.Moreover, Gordon Allport, one of the founders of personality psychology added that “the most important anchorage to our self-identity throughout life remains our own name”. According to the research, People who do not like their name tend to have lower self-esteem. A person’s name represents him as a human being and can have a significant effect on his life quality, and social life. Also, it can strongly impact beliefs bout himself.
On the other hand, some parents are tend not to worry about their children’s names too much and chose the name they like. Parents believe that it is their duty to choose the name they like and this may have no effect on their children’s future.What is more, in a more globalized world parents even prefer to choose exceptional and unique names. As the growing cultural shift towards individualism can be noticed, parents wish to give their children names that could stand out from the crowd and make their children exceptional, even those names sound weird and in the future can cause serious challenges for a growing individual.
