What will you name your kids? Maybe, you will use a traditional name, like the name of your grandfather. Maybe, you will name your child after a celebrity’s baby. Many people now love the quirkiness of celebrity baby names. They think it is cute and modern to name their child after a color, fruit, or direction. Other people choose gender-neutral names. However, some people think unusual names could make it hard for children to find jobs when they grow up.

We may see that some names fit people and vise versa. I suppose it’s so difficult to name your baby correctly. On the other hand, if you don’t like your name you can change it)

Well, It is a little funny to name the kids by quirkiness. It is just eye catching and could easily remembered. But as a permanent name is quite difficult, as they will find a sort of difficulty with finding jobs, friends, and make a social live harder too.
