Hands in heart shape on baby bump

Congratulations are in order… You’re about to bring a new life into this world and start (or continue) your journey through parenthood. Whether you’ve just discovered the news or are about to pop, choosing the name for your little girl or boy is one of the most important decisions to make. It’s also one of the hardest! That’s because this choice will result in what your child will be called for the rest of their life.

SO, you probably don’t want to pick a name that’s slang for something rude as that’ll become their nickname and nobody wants that, right? To get clued up on names and what they mean, you could spend hours trawling the internet and not coming up with anything you like. That’s why I prefer a book. There are literally thousands of names at your fingertips with all the information you could need.

Flick through the pages and fold the corners of the pages with the names you like. That way you can narrow down your favourites before coming up with the ‘one’. Besides books being your one-stop-shop for baby names, it’ll also be an adorable memento to keep and show your little one how you came up with their name.

With what seems like thousands of options to choose from, I’ve whittled it down to my favourite. Here are some of the best baby name books:
