Choosing the wrong name for your child can leave her feeling like she doesn't belong or fit in.

Take into consideration what you would feel like if you grew up as Chester and was constantly called the common nickname 'Chester the molester.' There are a great number of names that lend themselves to taunting and teasing, simply because of the immaturity of other people.

Consider your ancestry. If you are of English descent, consider names of Queens like Elizabeth or Mary. If you are of Russian decent, consider Czars like Catherine. Naming your baby based on your cultural heritage is a common method, and usually turns out pretty well.
