What’s in a Name? Ask Google

        Picking out and deciding on a baby name can be one of the most important decisions in life, so why not ask Google because now a days Google has all of the answers. Parents want a name that is unique, but not weird, classy, but not elderly and young, but not trashy. There are many aspects to think about when coming up with a name and Google can help make the decision easier. Google is the go-to spot to make sure that your baby has a beautiful name with no underlying meaning that might be inappropriate or embarrassing for the child. Now, "a small survey on LilSugar, a parenting and pop culture site, found that 64 percent of respondents had Googled their baby’s name before settling on it", so forget those multiple naming books and just create a name then Google it. Uniqueness is now becoming a competition among parents and Google makes sure that no one else has their child name. 
      For someone who likes to imagine their life ten or fifteen years from now, it is fun to think of baby names, but soon you will discover a new name and you will forget about all of the others that you have come up with. Writer, Allen Salkin, has fun writing this article, asking many parents about their adventures when deciding on a name. There are many first hand accounts of parents picking the wrong name or liking a name and Googling only to find out that a sex offender or serial killer has the same name. This was an interesting article, mainly aimed towards pregnant mothers in the process of picking out many different names. When picking a name that your child has to live with for the rest of their lives, you do not want to take any chances, so just Google it before putting it on the birth certificate.
