Baby Names Trends and Future Predictions

Parenting involves a lot of decision making even before your baby is born! One of the biggest decisions is choosing a name for your new offspring as this will be something that stays with them for their whole life.

Choosing names for our daughters was a difficult task both times around and with both kids we only had one name that we both liked and those are the ones we have used. We’re very happy with our decisions though making them was quite the task!
