It can be a minefield out there when it comes to deciding on a name for your baby.
Obviously you have to like the name first and foremost, but there are other things you need to consider: will it actually suit your little one, does it go with their surname and do you know a person with the same name that you don't like... trust us, this will eliminate a good few choices fairly quickly!
