Picking a name for your child is hard work. After all, you don't want to end up giving your bundle of joy a name that will get them made fun of. That's why you really have to think it through. To help you out, here are a few tips from [Men's Health](https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/a19548272/best-baby-names/) that'll help you pick a name that your child won't resent you over:

## 1. Will Their Initials Ruin a Monogrammed Bathrobe?

You don't want your child's initials to spell out something offensive. That's why you should really write the kid's name down a few times before you decide on it.

## 2. Are You Positive It’s Not a Stripper’s Name?

Sure, strippers have some sexy names. However, you should probably try to pick a cute name for your child rather than a sexy one. You don't want to end up going to a strip club and getting a dance with someone that goes by the same name as your child.

## 3. Are You Absolutely Sure You Want to Name Your Kid after a Movie Character?

Television shows and movies have a huge impact on child naming. Of course, “'The key to choosing a movie-inspired name is that you have to love the name, not just the character. If you have to know the movie to appreciate the name, it’s probably the wrong choice.”

## 4. 20 Years from Now, when Your Kid Recounts the Origins of Her Name, Will It Be a Happy or Funny Story, or a “here’s Why I’m in Therapy” Story?

You want your child to be proud of their name. That's why you have to pick something that you know they'd love.
